Here are some of him exploring around the water and enjoying the water.

Here are some of him in the deeper water. He wasn’t as sure about it. Also I don’t think he liked the restrictiveness of his life jacket, which we put on him when we went out deeper.

While we were on vacation in New Bern we went to the Beach one day with my Dad. My Mom had to work, here are a bunch of beach pictures from it. Desmond really enjoyed it, he liked playing in the water and holding onto a shell and a orange shovel. The first set of pictures are from when we first got there and his first experience with the water.

We are back from Disney. I’m working on getting pictures uploaded so you can see some of our trip. I’ll also try to do a small trip report here. We had tons of fun. Desmond really had fun trying to eat various character’s noses. We did a ton of rides and ate at a bunch of places. It was a nice vacation, we hope to go back in 2009, though if it takes till 2011 or so it won’t be a huge deal, would be nice to go back before that though.

We are heading out for our drive down to Disney World tomorrow. We plan to get there on Saturday. It should be interesting to drive for 15 hours with a baby in the car. We’ve broken the drive up into 3, 5 hour or so sections, one a day, so we’ll see how it goes. I packed the suitcases last night so our clothes are packed, now we just need to do diaper laundry to pack all the diapers, and pack up all the extra “stuff” we’re bringing, cameras, video cameras, books, toys etc. Should be a busy evening getting everything else ready.

I may try to update while we are gone, but probably won’t till we get back on the 1st.

Well we are home safe and sound. Disney was a lot of fun. I liked Pop Century where we stayed the first night, though it wasn’t that great probably would give it 3 stars. I enjoyed Animal Kingdom Lodge where we stayed the other 10 nights would give it 4 stars. Actually to be fair the La Quinta we stayed at on the way home would also get 4 stars and it was cheaper then both Disney hotels, though a bit smaller then the AKL room, so if Disney had La Quinta on-site I would be happiest there out of the three hotels we stayed at.

The food was good most places we ate though there were some detractors (Flying Fish) and some amazing places (Narcoosees). The rides were fun and the redone PotC was nice, though we did decide we do like Disneyland’s verision better, now that we have been closer in time and all.

Overall it was a lot of fun, though it was a lot of driving there and home, it is nice to be home with the puppy now, so we’ve spent most of today relaxing and grocery shopping so we have food in the house.
