15 days ago Julia and I set off for our summer adventure in Rhode Island. We flew up a week before Andrew so that I could attend my 15 year high school reunion and we could spend some extra time visiting with family before Andrew joined us for a week at the beach. The entire vacation was wonderful and Julia seemed to have a great time.
The first few days we were there it was really rainy. We spent a lot of time visiting with family but also fit in a trip to the Children’s Museum. That was a lot of fun for me because although the location has changed and it has been updated there were still some items from when I visited as a kid. Julia really enjoyed the water area, the woodlands play area where she practiced jumping, and building with all kinds of different blocks and tinker toys.

We spent a lot of time playing in the yard and Julia discovered all the raspberry bushes which she loves as much as I do.
Julia also had a few firsts over the week:
* She had her first Hoodsie cup:
* She said a few new words: moon, up, pretty, and flower
* She started trying to jump
* She ate half a jar of asparagus pickles (thankfully with no stomach side effects later!)
* She had her first plate of Great Ei’s spaghetti and meatballs (minus the egg)
* She played with sidewalk chalk for the first time
Overall it was a really fun week together. I enjoyed spending so much time with Julia and having her spend so much time with my family was very special. But I was also ready for Andrew to arrive!
