The first thing on our day's agenda was Ethan's first swim in a pool! Chris had ensured he booked a hotel with an indoor heated pool, and while the snow was frozen outside, we got to take him for his first swim inside!
Ethan sported his bathing suit for the first time. Our good friend Laura had given Ethan that suit during my baby shower... did she know ahead of time it would match his hair?
Oh, he knew he looked good, and wanted to show off his big muscles!
Modeling from the pool table...
to pool side!
"Let's do this Mommy!"
He looked puzzled at the vast body of water below.
Here's a video of his first dip!
Confident now, he got ready to do his favorite activity all morning...
SPLASH!
Looking like prunes, we finished our morning swim and continued on to explore the National Harbor some more.
Brrrr! The view was beautiful, but it was much colder than the warm indoor pool.
And during our visit to the Gaylord Conference Center ...
Ethan wanted to go back to swimming too!
"Is this art sculpture (The Awakening) coming to tickle me?"
"Thanks Daddy for planning such an awesome trip!"
Staycation over, now back to the real world...
