Amelia traveled really well. She got nervous and quiet when we first went into the hotel, but once she realized that we were all sleeping in the same room, she started blowing us all kisses from the crib and making herself giggle.
She LOVES blueberries. This is a good thing, because we brought home almost 50 pounds of them! She sat in her stroller begging us all for more while we were picking.
Amelia did NOT like the sand at the beach. It was kind of like when we first came home and she didn't want anything to do with grass. So she sat on the big blanket and played happily with the sand toys. As long as there wasn't actually sand in them!
We have several favorite restaurants and ice cream places that we like to visit. In fact, sometimes it's hard to fit them all in. We have been known to plan our day around getting to a particular ice cream or gelato stop.
We had a great weekend and were so pleased that Amelia was with us to enjoy it too -- hopefully her first of many visits to one of our favorite places!
We are in the midst of continuing to read all of the books our agency requires on things like attachment/bonding, grief/loss, transracial adoption, etc. The books, of course, often cover all the "worst case" scenarios of how the transition to a forever family will go in order to prepare and educate us. We are grateful for these educational resources but it is also so encouragaing to read your blog and see that the "worse case" does not always happen. :) So exciting for us to see how well you all and Amelia are doing--even on a trip away from home!
