Day 16

HOLA!! What a happy day for us!!! Zachary's Embassy appointment went very well today. We were in and out of there in about 2 1/2 hours. We were #1 out of about 30 people so you can imagine that some people were there ALL day!! Thank you Lord for giving us the #1 spot today! Zachary was a little angel!! After the Embassy appointment, we came back to our hotel (and got shafted by the taxi cab driver who quoted us one price, then I gave him money and he refused to give me change). Anyway, after a little haggling we let it go. Figured it wasn't worth it. You have to REALLY watch the cab drivers around here. They are notorious for that kind of thing. Once we got back to the hotel, we went to the breakfast buffet. The food was SO good so we just ate and ate and then we decided to skip lunch. We came back to the room and the three of us took a nap. The stupid phone rang and woke us up. Zachary continued to sleep a little longer which is what REALLY mattered. So we all got up a couple of hours later and walked a few blocks to the mall where Nana bought us some ice cream. It was SO yummy!!! We shopped a little bit and found several outfits for Z. He is going to be styling and profiling!! We came on back to the hotel and did a little more shopping. Then we came to the room and tried to get Zachary to take another nap. He was almost completely asleep when Nana had a bright idea to take his bottle out of his mouth because he was sucking air and he proceeded to PITCH A FIT and he was WIDE awake. It was ok though because Nana entertained him for quite a while after that. He was laughing and giggling like crazy. He just adores her. Right now he is on the bed beside her. She is trying to read, meanwhile Zachary is touching her on the face, tapping her book and playing with her hair. He SO loves his Nana.

Before dinner, we decided to go swimming. We had lot so fun! Zachary is such a little water bug. Nana was such a big help. She held Zachary for me while I got in the hot tub and did some swimming. My shoulder was killing me so I thought maybe the heat would help. It started getting cooler so Nana brought Zachary back to the room and I swam a little longer.

After that we decided to go to dinner early. We went to our favorite restaurant downstairs and had a nice dinner. Then we walked back through the lobby and saw some of our friends. They are all leaving tomorrow to go home so we stopped and chatted with them briefly. We got some really cute shots which I will post below.

Will write again tomorrow. We are getting ready to hit the hay! We are SO exhausted!

HUGS!!!!!
