Aero Annie

This is what Tuacahn looks like when
Tarzan gets rained out a week before
closing and everyone is too stubborn
to leave because they know it's sold out.

Luckily Mom's quick thinking landed us seats the next Monday which made 4 Monday nights in a row of getting cultured and Q landing babysitting duty. The babysitting didn't go too well but the 4 shows we saw were awesome. We were one of the few to see Tarzan on Broadway so this was a must reunion viewing for us. BTW: Little Mermaid on Broadway SUCKED IT UP so hopefully Tuacahn can do better next season. Isn't Annie adorable?

SO HERE's THE REAL POST. Annie & I went on vacation!

I could totally tell how much Annie had been looking forward to this trip with my mom and dad. Dad is the president of the hospital board so we got to tag along with him when he went to a conference in San Diego at the fabulous Hotel Del Coronado. Thank heaven for travel tubs.


Annie slept almost the entire way there. We put Oxygen on her and covered her ears just in case.

Hello fabulous 80 degree weather all week.



Dad wanted to see the Midway aircraft carrier ship so off we went... for 5 hours.
Good thing Annie loves to sleep inside her wrap because their was no way we
were getting a stroller around that thing. Can you spot Annie?







I for sure got my workout for the day.
P.S. Tracy Hogg would be so proud of my Angel/Text Book baby!

ON TO SEA WORLD; home of Shamu





Mom confided the fact that on my last trip to Sea World 20 years ago, she failed to realize Matthew and I were contracting 3rd degree sun burns. She says she still feels guilty over Matthew's predispodition to skin cancer because of his Sea World sun-stint as a toddler. I told her she had to let go of the guilt. Kids pick up on that kind of stress. Don't you think uptight parents = uptight kids? All I remember is the cool shark toy and Michael Jackson 3D movie. So I may have a few extra wrinkles... None-the-less, we were shade vigilentes when it came to Annie. Live and learn.


Back at the room Annie & I ordered room service while the parentals went out with their board buddies.


The good news is that my wedding band was found this afternoon
even after someone else had been in and checked out of the room. Relief.



The return trip didn't fare so well when it came to Annie and snoozing. She lasted about five minutes like this and then she was up and ready for panaramic viewing. You try keeping oxygen on an abnormally alert 3-month-old. It'll wear you out any day of the week.

I see SGU! ...and so does Annie. She loves to look out the window.
Maybe she recognized this celestial view of home.


Q was beyond thrilled to have Annie back.
They had some moments.




Annie is cool. She eats her hands. Smiles on cue. Never cries. Loves books. Practically jumps for kisses. Likes country music, and looks good in every outfit. Her hair is awesome and her head isn't gigantic like other babies. Plus she has really small features and makes cool noises. I think I'll keep her forever.
