Dim Sum

Our third stop of the day was Dim Sum at Peony in Oakland Chinatown. Uncle Huy was in town for a few days so we met up with him and Auntie To. We also finally got to meet Baby Miles! I don’t know why we didn’t get a photo with him.

After dim sum, we picked up some milk tea and played by the fountain for a bit.  Janie had a blast running around while Peanut watched the water falling out of the sculpture.

Uncle Huy is in town this weekend!  We met up with him and Auntie To at Yank Sing for some dim sum in the morning.

Peanut and To compared bellies.  Peanut looks like Humpty Dumpty in this picture.

After dim sum, we went across to the Ferry Plaza for ice cream.  Janie helped Peanut with his bottle.

We then stopped for a snack at Epic Roasthouse and sat on the patio with a beautiful view of the bay.

Waikiki Beach

This morning before the wedding, Janie played and played until the very last minute.  Her first stop was the beach.  I think yesterday’s experience with Mr. Ocean was positive enough for her to walk right out onto the sand without a single whimper.

So we sat by the water and had some pineapple and spam musubi for breakfast.

Once she was done eating, she happily played in the sand with waves crashing in front of her.

With it being only 8am, we almost had the whole beach to ourselves.  It was a nice quiet morning at the beach.  Mommy was so proud of her progress with Mr. Ocean.

After the beach, we went back to the hotel room to wake up Daddy.  We made a little spot for her on a towel where she enjoyed a snack and some Blue’s Clues.

Uncle Huy came by that morning and we had coffee by the Infinity Pool before grabbing an early lunch.

Then it was back to the beach again and Janie actually stepped into the waves with Daddy today!!

What a big girl!!  She was able to stay calm even with the bigger ones that went higher than her knees.

Here’s a video clip of some of the action.

Just before going back up to the hotel room to wash up for the wedding, Janie went for a dip in the pool with Uncle Huy.
