As a new Mama, I've been looking for things to do. I have found that my little guy travels well (we run a lot of errands), and no one likes being stuck in the house all the time, even a homebody. :-) There is no end to the activities available to us in the DC metro area, but it's hard to find them all in one spot. It gets a little frustrating. Since I'm still not sure where I'm going with this blog, I decided I might as well put up some of the local haps for any local Mamas who are wanting a little excursion. I'll try to post them as often as I find them!
First up: the International Babywearing Conference. This conference takes place at Catholic University in DC from June 29 through July 2. There is a free public day and green festival on Saturday, June 30th. It's hosted by the Beltway Babywearers group. I've been to one of their meetings and they are a friendly and helpful bunch. If you have ever wanted to try out a carrier, this is the event for you! Lots of information, lots of vendors, lots of friendly people ready, willing and able to help you. Plus, lots of cute babies! I'm planning on going with my little guy, and hoping to score a mei tai carrier while we're there. He's starting to outgrow the moby, and it's a little warm for it anyway (N.B. I loved, LOVED the moby. I'm super sad that it's too warm for one. We might try to find a woven wrap instead - similar to a moby but more breathable, less stretchy fabric). We love our Beco carrier, but we need more than one, especially since we don't have a stroller yet!
Hope to see you there!
