Just You an’ Me, and Carol Makes Three
May 4th 2008MomUncategorized
What a unique experience to have Carol all to ourselves in March. While she was here we calculated that it was a really long time ago (September of 1966) when it was last just the three of us. What a great time we had running all over Beijing with her. We even got her to fly a kite on Tiananmen Square. It was pretty foggy and she was a great sport.
Here she is with Dad at Qianmen Gate, which is actually a double gate, and in ancient times was the main entrance to the city.
And, while we girls were off shopping, etc., our Norwegian was practicing with the Bergan Norway Opera Chorus which was here to do a concert in, of course, the Forbidden City Concert Hall. So here is Carol and our favorite Norwegian after he sang with them in their concert. The concert was primarily Mozart’s Requiem. Great music and lots of fun for him to hang out with so many singers from Bergen (the ancestral home of the Larsens and the Lillevicks).

Great post! Wow, that is a really long time to have alone time with one of your kids. I’m glad that you were able to spend time together. You guys haven’t really been too busy with so many visitors! Lucky
Hope you are doing good. Love you guys!

That was such a fun trip! It was kinda weird to be the kid again instead of the mom:) I hope I didn’t wear you guys out too much with all the go go go and shop till you drop! It was great to see Dad in a concert in the Forbidden City Concert Hall with Norwegians-who would have guessed we would have that combination. Thanks again for the great trip and wonderful memories!!
