Back from Charlotte

Cara had a conference this weekend in Charlotte, so we tried to make it into a pseudo-vacation. Though the car ride up was a bit tough on Owen, he was able to rebound by Friday afternoon and was feeling great by Saturday. We didn't do a whole lot of stuff, mostly just stuff around the hotel. We did some swimming and went to a mall. On the last day we were there, we went to a museum, and Owen seemed to enjoy some of it. Mostly, I think he just liked being out of the hotel room. Once again, he started cutting a tooth while we were away from home, so that made it a little tougher on everyone. He now has 4 teeth and they are really cute. Ok, here are a few pictures from the weekend.


Owen and me playing in the hotel room while Cara learns about shoulders...awesome!



More hotel playing. Plus, Owen giving a gig'em.

He was fighting against going for a nap because we were having so much fun...and also, he hates naps.

Mommy and Owen playing peek-a-boo in the curtains.

Peek-a-boo

We were caught off-guard by this bear lurking in the building; luckily, he was behind a glass case...and dead.

Mommy and Owen out in the rain forest exhibit. Owen's had just about enough of the museum.

Dinosaurs are fun!

Kisses for mommy.
