USA- Sourthen California

Little June goes to the beach in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! Our flight from JFK to SLC was full and there were hundreds on standby. We decided to reroute through Long Beach, CA. How fortuitous. Our layover was 10 hours. Once we got there we rented a car and hit the beach. The weather was amazing, the beach beautiful, and life was good. We wanted to get Tacos on the beach but we settled for some random burger joint. Laura got a hold of a few friends and we headed up to Simi Valley to hang out with Emily. Her friend Jalise was also able to meet us at the airport.

It was a great diversion and I think June enjoyed the beautiful weather and sun. And yes there is more to explore...

USA- Maryland

Great Falls, MD

They had these crazy locks that allowed boats to travel upstream.

June visits Maryland! No offense to those from MD, June did not do a comprehensive tour of the state. Its just not one of those states that warrants a full tour. Now I may be mistaken, but for June's tour around the globe, a visit to Great Falls and Silver Springs will count.

Great falls was pretty sweet despite the large amount of trash strewn around the area. The locks in the canal were interesting as well. Laura and I were just off the plane and pretty tired so we did not stay long. One of the things that I miss about the east cost is the history. Everything has a story. The Ethiopian in Silver Springs, Maryland was fantastic. The DC area does have some amazing places to eat. June was entertained by the running water and good company.

USA- Washington, D.C.

Little June goes to the Capital! While we did go through New York City, we have decided that airports do not count. This trip was a huge success. We visited various museums, historic sites, and amazing restaurants. June loved watching all the people in the packed museums. It was also June's first time out in the rain, because it did rain all weekend. It was also June's first ride on the subway. She was Amazing!

Two Amy's pizza, some Ethiopian place in Silver Springs, MD, and the Native American Museum cafeteria were amazing culinary experiences. It reminds us why we miss the East Coast. I am not sure how June liked Ethiopian flavored breast milk, but she seemed alright.

JetBlue standby worked like a charm. We did have a scare leaving SLC to JFK, but we ended up on the top of the list for standby and made it. Coming home was pretty crazy. The return flight from IAD-JFK-SLC filled with passengers of a canceled Saturday flight and we had no hope of finding a seat. So we hopped on the flight to LGB. During the ten hour layover we rented a car and drove SoCal. We were able to see Laura's friend Emily in Simi Valley, and we were also able to introduce Junie to the Beach. All in all our first foray with Jetblue with June was amazing! More to come...
