We packed up Oliver and all his crap to go visit Fernanda and Ian in Tucson. This was Oliver's first plane trip and our first time navigating security with a baby. We attempted to only bring carry-on bags for our 4 day trip and I have to say it was a bit tricky, but we pulled it off! Oliver did great on the plane and we were lucky to have people sitting nect to us that liked babies...
Our first outing was to the Dessert Museum. It was sunny and warm - the best day of the trip. This baby is not used to so much sun! He is my boy after all ; )
He had a great time riding on daddy's shoulders
And a tortoise
He really loved meeting Fernanda for the first time. They hit it right off.
Even saw some javellina's basking in the shade...they are supposedly more like deer than pigs (says Fernanda)...they sure look more like pigs to me!
Awesome dessert view
We were going to go for a swim at the pool, but it was too cold...went to the park instead. Oliver's first time on a teeter totter. It was a BIG hit!
And of course the swings...
We went out to a great dinner (well, except for Mike's well done pizza...). In case you can't tell, Oliver really liked Ian too : )
There are no pictures of the next day of the trip because it was spent inside watching a marathon of "jersey shore" because Oliver and I were barfing our guts out. Oliver's first time throwing up and he did not like it! Neigther did Mike who got the brunt of it...Luckily we were feeling better by the 3rd day, so we went hiking in this canyon.
Unfortunately, that night Ian got sick too and Fernanda was feeling bad on our last day there. She was a trooper though and took us out to see this beautiful mission.
Then it was back home to Seattle for us. Luckily Mike didn't get sick until we were back home...That was some crazy virus we all got. Very glad it was only for a few hours. Despite all the sickness, we had a really great time in Tucson, especially seeing Fernanda. I miss her already!
