First Father’s Day as a Dad

Just one short week ago I experienced my first father’s day as a Dad.  It was a wonderful day.  It started off with Alyssa cooking me a wonderful breakfast of Huevos Rancheros.  This is my favorite breakfast and I am always disappointed when I order it because it was never as good as the first one I had.  But the dish Alyssa made was even better.

As you can see Julia tried to help me eat it but just couldn’t quite figure out how to use the fork.

Alyssa also gave me a wonderful gift of 5 framed pictures of the three of us.  We plan to hang it right in that spot behind me.  It was a truly wonderful gift and while I didn’t quite cry I may have had a tear or two in my eye.  :)

After breakfast, Julia, Alyssa and I headed to the National Aquarium and US Botanical Gardens in Washington DC.  It was a beautiful day and the three of us had a wonderful time walking around.  Julia tried to escape into the plants at the Gardens but thankfully her legs aren’t long enough to get too far away.

Finally, on the way home we had to end the day with a mint chocolate chip milkshake from Baskin Robbins.  It was a wonderful first Father’s Day and I look forward to many more.
