Babymoon plus 1

Around these parts its popular to take a "babymoon"--it's akin to a honeymoon but taken just before a new baby arrives. We never took one before Callum was born but decided recently that it would be fun to take a little trip before Baby2 arrives, while we are still a family of 3.
So, we cashed in on a long-overdue gift and booked a room at the Jersey City Hyatt, which is literally on a pier over the water with an incredible view of Manhattan. From our room we could see the Statue of Liberty (which is technically in Jersey waters not that we Jerseyites are touchy about this one.).
The trip itself wasn't full of crazy adventures but we did take a quick trip into Hoboken, which was holding it's St. Patrick's Day festival early. We also watched alot of boats, swam in the swimming pool, took lots of train trips, and ate some new fun foods. Here is the little man himself enjoying the lightrail train (much less intimidating than the regular train).

And, here he is in a great little cafe showing off his new trick...the heavily crossed arms. It came out of nowhere, for real, and he is doing it all the time. It's particularly fun with two trucks in his hand. His favorite part of the trip, by far, was riding the elevator. He would say "Elevator Hiding." to describe it with its doors closed, then proudly push the buttons, be a little scared by the actual motion, and march off with confidence. Anytime we were just hanging out in the hotel room, he was asking "Elevator? Elevator?". Doesn't take much to make him happy.
