Arianna's day trip to Northside, Rum Point and East End

With a successful excursion under our belts last night to Camana Bay we decided today to get very adventurous and take Arianna around the Island.  The morning actually started with Katie and I going to the General Registry to register her birth and get her birth certificate.  Today was the first day we could do it since yesterday was a national holiday and Friday we didn't get the necessary paperwork from the hospital until too late in the day.  After getting home from the Registry, we packed the two vehicles and headed up to the Northside of the Island where we had lunch on the water at the Over the Edge Cafe.

After finishing lunch we headed on to Rum Point and took Arianna out on the dock to a gazebo where we got the photo's of four generations of the Carlisle, Loski and Cummings women and four generations of the Macias middle name.  After an hour or so at Rum Point we headed east to the Wreck of the Ten Sail Monument and the Blow Hole.  Arianna had been fed some expressed milk while we were at the registry and that knocked her out as she was asleep almost the entire four plus hour excursion waking only to be fed at the Monument and again briefly at the blow hole.  She is still struggling with the whole when is day and I should be awake and when is night and I should be asleep concept.

Katie is furiously working on the birth story and will cross post it both here and the baby blog.  We kept pretty good notes of everything that happened on November 9, 2010 and so she has a lot to write about.
