Our Colombia Trip!

We had a fabulous time in Colombia.  We packed a lot in in less than a week.  Baby did GREAT with the travel to and from. In fact, Luis and I were so surprised at how well he did. Truly, it was a breeze traveling with our 5 month old, as his three proud aunties took over; they were so enthusiastic about feeding, changing and watching our handsome guy.  Baby Luis was showered with a tremendous amount of love and attention.  Also, Luis and I were able to get some rest, which was definitely a plus.  What a positive first trip for our sweet boy!

Our primary reason for this trip was to celebrate the wedding of Luis' cousin Mauricio and his new bride, Marcela. What a fun wedding!

 We shared beautiful time with family. Here are all the special people baby met and/or reunited with this trip:



Lilliana, Robinson, Tia Gloria and Abuelita
Cousin Santiago

Cousin Nicolas
Cousin Nathalia
Abuelito
Madrina (godmother) Andrea

Tia Sandra
Uncle Julio
Cousin Martin. These two cuties are just 22 days apart!

Here is our happy boy with his tias.


The day before we left I made a trip to Zafiro, my sister-in-law Sandra's clothing store, as I wanted to pick up something nice for myself.  She ended up treating me to so many items, I literally had a shopping spree in her fabulous store.  I have purchased very little clothing since having the baby, so it was a treat to bring home some new items.  Gracias Sandra!

We can't wait to return. Our next reunion with the family will be in June when we travel to Florida for Andrea's wedding. By then, baby Luis will be a year old!
