Busy Weekend!

Nora had lots of adventures this weekend! On Saturday, we went to Mystic Seaport in the pouring rain for the Small Craft Workshop, and Nora got her first glimpses of all the boats her mama likes so much. Only glimpses, though, because Nora was snug and dry in her wrap inside Mama's raincoat - she couldn't do much looking around (she slept most of the time, though, so she wasn't upset about that at all). Then we all went out to dinner with our friends Wade and Elizabeth. It was Nora's first dining out experience, and it went very well - she slept in her sling until right before we were about to leave, allowing Mama to have her first margarita in many months!

On Sunday, we went to visit Daddy's grandparents and Nora got to meet her great-grandfather for the first time. They were mutually charmed with each other!


On the way home from the family visit, we stopped at the Wild Rhododendron Sanctuary in Patchog State Forest. The rhododendrons weren't blooming yet, but Nora enjoyed her first little hike and was wide awake and alert to look around at the neat jungle-like atmosphere.



After that busy weekend, we've spent the beginning of the week resting up and recovering!
