The Herrons get a taste of China!

We are 3/4 of the Herron family, Brad, Terri, and Taylor (unfortunately the other 1/4 of the Herrons couldn’t make this trip).  Brad is the dad and a sixth grade teacher in Missoula, one of his subjects being social studies with a focus on ancient history (including China!!).  So Brad is our resident history geek.  Taylor is the older son, a full-time software engineer and part-time jazz musician in New York City.  He is a rabid pro soccer fan and also enjoys cooking and learning about new cultures.  Terri is the mom and the reason China even got on our radar.  She is an accounting professor at the University of Montana and accepted an invitation to teach a two-week course at a university in Shanghai.  We decided to take advantage of her opportunity and tack on a week of travel as a family.  Having never traveled to Asia, we turned to Adventure Life to put something together for us, starting and ending in Shanghai.  We are happy to share some of experiences and impressions about our six-day jaunt around China.
