our favorite place

It's a poorly kept secret that Scott and I want to live in New Orleans someday. A couple of weeks ago, we took Clara for a couple of nights - her first time there. It was very different from when we visited before she came along (those days were filled with swanky restaurants, browsing art galleries, and a lot more alcohol). Still, we loved being there as a family and, per usual, can't wait to go back.
These are out of order (sorry). Most are from the zoo (amazing), some from the kids' museum (not amazing, though she loved it), others as noted:

Vacay Part 2

breakfast tastes better in the ocean breeze

CRAZY SMILE

waterproof disposable cameras = the bomb
 


This video is long and we talk about all kinds of random stuff, but you can catch lots of CRAZY SMILES just in the first few seconds :)

Back to work tomorrow. So sad about that, but these 9 days (counting weekends) with my baby have been wonderful!

Clara's First Beach Trip

We've been in Destin, Florida the last few days - Clara's first trip to the beach! She is scared of sand on her feet, but likes the ocean and loves the kiddie pool. We drove during the night while she slept. She has stuck to her usual self-imposed sleeping schedule while here (thank goodness!). A few pics today, more to come (and a video) when we get home:
Very first time on the beach! (Learned lesson about camera fogging... must acclimate first.)

Worn out and bathed after a day at the beach. Ready for yum-yums and bed.

With mommy on the way to the beach (day 2).  Her outfit is from GAP.

With daddy in the ocean!

Chillin' in my beach tent. This is my new "crazy smile" face.

Having a lot more fun than my face would portray.

More CRAZY SMILE.

Guess we'll be getting a kiddie pool when we get home!
