Chelsea's first trip!
We decided on Portugal even before she was born. We envisioned a couple weeks driving through the country, tasting Port, relaxing on the sunny beaches, paddling down picturesque lakes. After she was born, we realized it would be better for her, and us, if we used Lisbon as our home base and did day trips by train.
We had a great trip! With Chelsea strapped in the carrier (the cobblestone roads were not conducive to comfortable stroller transport), we explored the city streets, went in and out of cafes and restaurants, and found shadey trees to relax under.
Our day in Sintra included a beautiful walk through Quinta da Regaleira. We walked through underground caves, and one lead to the bottom of this really cool well.
Cascais was a touristy beach town where we wanted to have a relaxing beach day. We laid Chelsea on the sand, covered her in sunblock, and sheltered her with an umbrella. No matter how hard we tried to prevent the sand from getting on her, it still managed to stick to her body and face. She did manage to go into the ocean. By that I mean we dipped her naked bum in
the ocean after she made a giant poop that leaked everywhere. Beach day aborted.
