It's finally spring break for mommy, so I decided we should travel and have some family fun time! Technically yesterday was day 1--we went to Grandma Judy's to stay the night, which isn't a new thing, so I figured we'd start counting from today. Today we traveled from Grandma's to St. Louis, to stay the night at the Lumière Place (HoteLumière). Uncle Kevin was with us, as we were first meeting up with Nana Linda so that she could take him to her place for a long visit. We shopped in Costco with her, then grabbed some pizza there for lunch before heading over by ourselves (you, mommy, daddy, and Grandma Judy (Silly Buddy had to go away to work)) to the hotel to check in. We tried to go to the zoo after check-in, but even at one hour until closing, it was too busy to even get parked, so we opted to go to Lone Elk Park in West County instead. It's a drive-thru park that has elk, bison, deer, turkeys, and other animals roaming about. We were lucky enough to see one elk (yep, a lone elk!), quite a few bison, and two deer.
We then returned to the hotel so that we could hit the pool--you were quite excited for this. We bought you some goggles just the other day so that you could try getting used to putting your face in the water. You love playing in the pool, but you're not comfortable with water on your face/eyes (even in the shower, this bothers you). You did well today for a first try with goggles--you put your face in a few times, just for a couple of seconds.
After the pool, we cleaned up and went out to dinner at Grandma Judy's favorite restaurant, Texas Roadhouse. You ate very well here--had some rolls with the cinnamon butter, most of a caesar salad, and a few fries. We then returned to the hotel and hung out with Grandma until bedtime. You are sleeping in her room so we can all have our own beds tonight :) I think we are off to a great start and hope it only gets better as we go along!
