Last week we returned from 9 days with Grandma, Granddad and Uncle Keith. We had a great time and Hai enjoyed all the attention. He was great on the airplane, though he only slept 30min on the flight over. By the time we flew home, he slept half the flight - I assume because it was all old news by that point.
We went to the zoo in Albuquerque and Hai got to see his first elephants, giraffes, flamingos, zebras and more. He loved it. And we also went to the aquarium where we ate lunch next to the big tank and watched the turtle (one of Hai's favorite animals). And of course, we spent a lot of time in Granddad and Grandma's pool! Hai's getting more and more comfortable in the water (particularly if Mom's not in it with him so it seems)!
We had lots of great food in typical McVicker tradition on our vacation. Keith made us great green chile cheeseburgers one night and we got to see his new house (enough to make me really think about the cost of living in the Bay Area, let me tell you!). And Keith also smoked prime rib for the whole family for July 4th and set off fireworks for us. Finally, the day before we left Grandma had a little party for Hai where we got to see a lot of old friends, it was great.
We came back from vacation and I launched right back into work full tilt. It doesn't appear that the summer "slow down" is really happening this year. But we're already planning our next vacation to San Diego in August. We'll be even better prepared for that one, though we don't have the luxury of having Grandma set everything up for us before we arrive that time!
Here's some photos of our trip to Albuquerque.
Love all - Melissa & Hai
