Vacation in Rio de Janeiro!

Hi everyone! We are having a really fun adventure in Rio de Janeiro this week! It has been a challenge taking a trip with a toddler, but I think we've learned a few things about what to do and what not to do for next time. It has been wonderful so far and we still have 4 full days left. Here's what we've been up to:

Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer)

We took a tiny tram to the top of the mountain. The view of the city below was amazing! Little Man fell asleep on the way up and didn't get to check out the statue. I didn't get a picture in front of the statue because Hubby had his hands full.

Maracanã Stadium 

Hubby was so excited to check this place out. We got to go thru the players' tunnel, into the locker room (which smelled like sweaty feet), and up to the different levels of the stadium. A lot of fun.

Little Man liked sitting on the floor of the elevator for some reason.

Brazilian National Museum

This was an affordable and fun activity. I love museums so it was a lot of fun for me to poke around. There was an exhibit about the history of the Brazilian indigenous way of life, and another with several mummies! We didn't spend as much time there as I would have liked because Little Man was getting sleepy.

So that's what we've been checking out so far. We've got a few more low-key days planned, I think. We've been joking about how much easier it is to travel and explore without a baby, but I think next time we'll have the experience to be better prepared. 

Till later!
