Julia's First Vacation

OK, so it was just a night in Memphis. But, we had such a good time and Julia was such a trooper that we think that NYC will be next!

Julia playing in her Exersaucer before we left Sunday. She likes it for about 20 minutes and then gets really frustrated.
We went to the National Metal Museum first. Julia got to visit her first museum and she really liked the art. She asked a lot of very intelligent questions about everything she saw.
Then we went outside and hung out by the Mississippi River.
The garden at the Metal museum was our favorite part.
Then, we went to visit Emmy. Emmy has a very cool basement playroom that her Mom set up for her.
This is Julia is her cute ruffle bottom bathing suit getting ready for her very first swim.
The look on her face says it all. She was not so sure at first, but once she got used to the cold water, she LOVED it! We shared the pool with a soccer team so it was really loud in the pool area. I think she is going to love the pool as much as she loves her bath. Her favorite place was in her Dad's arms after the swim.

Not so sure about the sushi that mom and dad ate Sunday night at Stix! Yummy!

Julia was so happy that we brought her bed for the motel room. We actually had to wake her up at 9 the next morning because John and I were ready to go.

This is what the back of the Blazer looked like when we got home Monday night after shopping all day. We ended up buying a desk at Pier 1 for the computer. We could not fit one more thing in the back!

Julia got a new highchair and had cereal in it when we got home. I washed the Baby papason and am going to return it to my friend who let us borrow it. It was a little bit sad to move to the highchair and retire the babyseat. It has been sitting on my bar for almost 6 months now!

It was great to have an extra day off! Looking forward to our next Memphis vacation!
