Seattle - Fremont

We flew out of Philadelphia yesterday to visit the Carusos in Seattle. It was great to finally see where John, Annie and Annabelle live, but it was even better that they already had everything we needed waiting for us since Annabelle is 14 months old. Zoe was incredibly good on the flight. She slept for just over half of the time and only fussed a little bit. Take off and landing didn't seem to bother her much at all, which is great because Cheryl and I plan on doing as much traveling with her as possible. Before we set out for the day, we made sure to eat a hearty breakfast. As always, Zoe enjoyed the solid foods the most.



Once everyone ate, we loaded up in the car and took a drive out to Fremont. We took in some of the sites and had a nice lunch. Zoe took a little nap on Cheryl once we made it to Gas Works Park. Here are some of the pictures.



When we got back home, Zoe and Annabelle hung out for a bit on the couch with John. They didn't do much interacting this first day together, but at least no fights broke out. In fact, in the one picture, it actually looks like both John and Zoe are tickling Annabelle.



So that was our first full day in Seattle. You can find all of these pictures and more in Zoe's set on Flickr.

Paris - Day Five: Louvre, More Gardens, Photobooths, Macaroons, Love

Today was scheduled to be a somewhat random day. We didn't have anything specific we were planning to do, meaning no pre-purchased tickets, but a number of stops to make and things to see. The first stop on our list for the day was a photobooth that was out near Moulin Rouge. It was in a giant, open gallery space where there were people dancing and vendors selling food. We found the booth and took a few pictures. Right near the booth there was an old trailer of some sort that was converted in to a little library. Since Zoe loves books, even if they're in a language she doesn't read, she went in and browsed the selection. She then said she'd like one of these for our house back home. We'll see what we can do. She didn't actually take the book with us, but she wanted to pose with it. At this point it was time to get something to eat, so we hopped on the Metro and took it to Cafe des 2 Moulins, the restaurant from the movie Amelie. The food was great, the...

Girls Night Out Dance

Zoe has her first dance at school, the Girls Night Out Dance, where she brought me as her date. It had been quite some time since I was at such a formal affair, but thankfully I was still able to squeeze in to my suit. Zoe looked as gorgeous as her mother with her fancy clothes, her makeup, and the big bow in her hair. We took a few pictures before we left for the dance, just to capture the moment. I drove us over to the school, and we arrived right on time, beating the crowd. A few of Zoe's friends were there, and before they turned the lights off, I took one, not-so-good, picture. It is nice to know that, as time goes by, some things never change. There was very little dancing for the two of us at the dance. She was very interested in the snacks (treats), the lights that were on the tables, but mostly in the pull up bar at the back of the gym. She spent a solid 15 minutes moving around gym mats so she could stand on them and hang from the bar. Other kids came and went,...

Election Day

When Zoe was born, Barack Obama was the president. Today the country is voting to determine who will be president for the next four years. It will still be a long time before Zoe gets to cast her own vote, but when Cheryl got home today, the two of them went around the corner to our voting center and did their civic duty. Cheryl took a couple of pictures. The girls are asleep now, and the race is still too close to call, but I assume when we get up tomorrow (hopefully not in the middle of the night) we'll know who who won. I hope everyone got out to vote today! As you can see by her sticker, Zoe did.
