She's a travelin' bean.

There was this song that we made up awhile ago, not sure when, but definitely around the Chicago trip. It's sort of a folkish, country kind of tune that goes "She's a travelin' bean (travelin' bean, travelin' bean)" and it's true. In her tiny life, the Animalia has been to Chicago, Washington, DC, and most recently, El Paso, TX. She'll go to San Diego in a few weeks and she may well end up on a beach in Mexico by the end of the year.

The Animalia, she likes traveling, she likes wandering around, she likes being outside and people watching. She likes to eat new things and play in suitcases. She loves her stroller and is happy in the side carry in any kind of sling. She loves to explore and she's a good traveler. Adaptable, not too picky, happy, though she does become a little clingy when she's unsure of her surroundings. She still sleeps, though not as well as she does at home, and she doesn't take too long to get back into her normal routine once she gets home. Traveling with the Animalia is highly recommended.
