Live from Bloomington: End of Day 1:

When last we spoke to you from Minnesota, Millie was asleep. She napped well and when she woke up we found some things to do. Since we were taking it easy we mostly stayed close to the hotel. We met Mommy and friends for lunch and then we walked to a nearby hotel with her and stopped to play outside and by the pool playground (inside the hotel) for a bit. It is indeed a tad bit chillier here (but we are happy the midwest grey haze hasn't started yet). I had a really nice day with Millie - but she was most definitely happy to see Mommy!

Millie playing by our hotel:



















Millie thought this play house was pretty sweet:














One of Millie's favorite activities is just roaming around the hotel. Not only do people think she is the cutest thing, but it is kind of amusing to see this little human less than 2 feet tall walking around. She thought she was big stuff walking to our hotel room. She also likes to push the elevator buttons (with some help!)



















Next Millie got to go in the pool for the first time! Mommy helped her. She thought it was pretty okay - intrigued but not quite ready to really "jump in". She was also suspicious of the guy in the pool nearby.














We ended the day with a very nice dinner at a nearby restaurant, Kincaids. Millie had a blast in her first taxi ride. A little more expensive than we would have liked (although maybe still cheaper than a comparable meal in CT), but it was very good. I had bacon wrapped kobe beef meatloaf - enough said! It was a really fun dinner with great company in Liz, Gretchen, and Glen. Millie had fun flirting with people and tried walleye, calamari, the aforementioned meatloaf, and cabbage.

After all that - bedtime!!
