My Mama and Baba celebrated their 8th wedding anniversary and decided to take me on little getaway so we could all enjoy ourselves. We spent the weekend at a wonderful hotel called the Renaissance Waverly and did all kinds of fun things. The first fun thing we did was visit the Georgia Aquarium.
This is how I looked for most of the visit. There were some really big fish, whales and sharks there along with other creatures like penguins and sea otters.
Baba and I are encountering some sting rays. I wasn't really big enough to reach down in there and pet them, but they were interesting to watch. Mama and Baba also realized that it is so much fun to watch ME that they completely forget to take pictures. At least they took a few!
We decided to spend some time back at the hotel enjoying their pool. But for awhile, I decided just to hang out here on the chaise and check things out from afar.
I had not been in a pool this big since we were in Chongqing. It was a little scary at first, but then it got really fun! Baba taught me how to kick and then how to use my arms. I am almost swimming!
Hi Mommy! I see you sitting there in the jacuzzi taking pictures!
See, I'm almost doing it all by myself!
I really am having a good time. We need one of these at home!
OK, now we are ready for some dinner in just a few minutes. Mama and Baba are excited about this new Tuscan restaurant here in the hotel. But we'll just hang out for a little while right here. I love my Baba!
OK, we are seated, and I'm hungry!
No matter where I go, there is still nothing as good as Cheerios. Well, I know my Mommy replaced my Cheerios with Cascadian Farms organic cereal, but I love those too, so I won't let on that I know she made the switch. ;) Now, where's my entree? The chef is making me a Mei-Ling-sized lasagne!!!!!
Mommy had a great time on our trip. She is especially happy after eating Italian food and some dessert called Tiramisu. I didn't get to taste any of that because of something called Kahlua.
We are back out in the lobby just chilling a bit before heading upstairs.
If you are ever looking for a FUN game to play, try this one. I always do things like flapping my arms, moving my feet and just shimmying and moving all around when people are trying to take my picture. See, I moved so much, my arm has almost vanished into thin air!
Well, that's it for our weekend pictures. We had a great time. On Sunday, we ate at the best jazz brunch, and Mama went on a mission to find at least SOMETHING off the buffet that I would not eat. She was unsuccessful. I had everything from cheese blintzes to crab legs and so many blueberries that (uh oh - Mama said that one is too gross to post here).
One thing that Mama and Baba did just for me was buying me a baby doll that looks JUST like me. Her name is Baby Yang (pronounced YAHng). She is beautiful, and she has the last name that I had before Mama and Baba and I were united in China. We'll get some pictures of me and Baby Yang after we get back home. Until then, zai jian (good bye)!
Did I mention that this is my favorite spot in the world? Well, this one and then laying on Baba's chest.
