My first metro ride and my first amusement park

Oct 18 - Another exciting fun filled day! This morning Mommy and I got all dressed and headed to New Carolton metro station because today was my first metro ride. Mommy let me get out of the stroller and held me so I could look out the window. I saw all kinds of things like trucks, and cars, and a river, and then we went underground. I liked banging on the window too.

When we got to our stop we were in Northwest DC and my old friend Staci was there waiting for us. Oh, it was so good to see her. We walked a couple blocks to Johnny Rockets and we had lunch. I played with a straw and a french fry while they ate. I started to get antsy so Mommy took me out of the stroller and I went to Staci. I really like her and wish I could see her more. She has blonde hair now and I liked that too. I tried to pull on it.

After lunch we walked back to the metro and said our goodbyes to Staci. Then Mommy and I got back on the metro. I slept the whole way home on the metro and in the car. When I woke up we were headed to Six Flags for the season ticket holder party. We met Uncle Sean, Aidan, and Gavin in the parking lot and walked in together. I had never been to an amusement park before. They have lots of rides and people laughing and screaming. Everyone was dressed in red for the Caps. We stood in line to get a couple players autographs.

Then we watched Aidan and Uncle Sean play whack-a-mole. Then we all got on the carousel. Mommy held me as I rode the elephant. I liked it and when I wasn't looking around at everything that was spinning, I was banging on the elephant as if to say, "giddy-up." After all that it was time to get home and eat and go to sleep. It has been a really busy last couple of days!
