We took Peter down to California a few weeks ago for a trip full of firsts.
Here are a list of some of the places he went for the first time.
An airport
An airplane
A pool
An aquarium
A hotel
Disneyland
A Disneyland ride
And I'm sure lots of other places.
He also got to experience his first 103 degree weather. Woof! While I can say he did not appreciate Disneyland or The Aquarium of the Pacific he did seem to like the pool quite a bit. I will post a video of his first swim soon.
Disneyland!
We stayed on property which was very nice and gave us a home base for nursing and cooling off. There is also a baby care center in each of the parks that has a nice nursing room, big changing tables, and anything you might have forgotten at home.
The best part of the trip was the World of Color show that's running at California Adventure in the evenings. It is a lighting-geek's dream. LED's, jets of water, projections, lasers, and 30 foot streams of fire! What more could you want? We saw it once from the hotel room, and liked it so much that we went to see it for real the next day.
Low point of the trip was getting stuck five boats from the exit at Pirates of the Caribbean. Peter was sleeping, so that was fine, but it still took an hour before they would let us get off the ride. We had to climb over the other boats to make it to the emergency platform.
Other than that, we had a great time visiting with family and swimming and playing in Disneyland. Here are some pictures!
