Over the last few months Elliott (and Chris) have been great sports and accompanied me on several interview trips. There were some good sides to these trips - cheese curds in Wisconsin, deep dish pizza and the zoo in Chicago, hipsters in Portland. It all resulted in the exciting news that we will be staying in Seattle where I will be a pediatric resident at UW/Seattle Children's Hospital. Woohoo.
Anyhow, not too long ago I was able to take Elliott with me to Monterey, California where I was presenting at a research conference. Elliott had a lot of questions about my topic, "Hepatitis B virus co-infection in HIV infected female sex workers in Kenya." He'll have to wait until he's older for the details, like maybe 4 or 5 or something. :)
One of the benefits was Elliott got to fly in another airplane. He also got to wear these awesome shoes for the occasion:
Elliott loves airports. So many people to stare at and so many perfectly sized ledges for him to hold on to:
We all loved the sun and beaches:
We visited the Monterey Aquarium:
And we swam! His love of baths should have clued us in that he would also love pools. But, we just didn't expect that he would be so eager to dunk his head under the water. This kid is a fish!
If you asked any of us what the favorite part of our trip was - the beach, the sun, the aquarium, the really fun research talk Summer got to give.....we would all reply: the pancakes! This place was freakin' amazing. We ate their twice, but wish we would have gone there for every meal!

One of the perks of Mommy's research is Aunt Sunny and Grandma Carren got to come with us, free of charge:
To finish what might be one of the final blog posts of my brief time as a mommy blogger (I hear residency is time-consuming), a photo montage of what we have been up to in the last couple months:
At the Seattle Children's Museum with our friend Jack:
