Vacation, part deux

Vacation already seems like long ago, but I had so much I wanted to share I've added a second post. Soon after we came back, we decided it was time to explore Seattle. We decided to get a lay of the water. We've spent some time at Green Lake before, but this time we went to Lake Union, Puget Sound, and Lake Washington. Here I am at the Puget Sound contemplating, "What is a Sound?" Do you know what a Sound is? My Uncle Andy looked it up for me and best described it as a big bay. I personally think we should petition to change the San Francisco Bay to the San Francisco Sound. They both look big to me, and besides it has a very nice alliteration.

All this water was beautiful, but it was really nice to be at Ocean Beach with Aunty Jessica too. We also got to hang out with Aunty Michele and Uncle Cameron. I woke up after my usual full night's rest and saw some empty ice cream containers in the trash.... Aunty Michele, did you take my mama out somewhere for a treat without me? Harumph.

I've been missing my friends Lucy and Oliver too. Lucy taught me how to hang out at home - without pants. See how comfortable she looks? I had such a good time playing with Lucy Jiejie's fun toys. Maybe Mummy and Papa saw how much fun I had, because as soon as they got home, they bought me an exersaucer. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as Lucy's, but I think my papa got a good deal on it. I do like that it teaches me to say different animals in Spanish. "Gato" says Meow.

Oliver's such a cutie. (Don't tell my papa I said that...) Here he is giving me a "look."

San Francisco has so many great friends. I got to catch up with Uncle Tom at one of Mummy's favorite Boulangerie's, while Papa got his haircut at his old stopping ground. Aunty Kristin and Uncle Rich let me play with Norbert, Papa's favorite Norfolk Island Pine. We also got to spend some time with Aunty Tara and Uncle Dave, also known as the "poop whisperers" - I left a little present behind at their home. All in all, it was so wonderful to see some of our very good friends. There wasn't enough time in the day to see everyone or even eat in all the places Mummy wanted to eat (even with her 6 meal/day rule). Hopefully we'll be back again soon - and maybe even you can come visit and I'll show you around my 'hood?
Luckily there's a bit of sunshine peeking through up here now and we're enjoying every bit of it as the days are getting longer.

I thought I'd end with a short clip of my first every ride in a park swing. You can tell I absolutely adore the wind in my face. Maybe Papa will buy me a convertible when I'm old enough to drive?
