On Our Way to Beijing and Airport Eating

I'm sitting in the Club Room at SeaTac airport in Seattle waiting to catch a flight to Beijing, China. My wife, 12-year old daughter, and I, are adopting a 12-year old girl who resides in an orphanage in Beijing. Besides being rife with excitement to meet our new daughter, I'm having fun exploring the different options for eating in airports.
SeaTac offers a smorgasbord of options, from Wolfgang Puck Gourmet Express with sit-down eating and grab-and-go yogurts, grilled meat salads, and a variety of whole-grain sandwiches, to a Parisian-cafe looking Wendy's. We opted for Maki of Japan whose spicy tofu with vegetables over yaki soba noodles hit the spot.
Because my brother in law works for Delta, we were granted entrance to the Club Room. Good thing. They had free espresso, V-8, Italian olives, almond and cranberry mix,hummus and crackers, and tasty little Biscoff's with Nutella spread. My daughter was hoping for a place to throw the frisbee, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow!
I'll try and blog more about our eating adventures in China. Looking forward to trying some street vendor food!
