On The Road Again

Earlier this month, we took our first road trip! We decided to visit our friends Brant and Jessica and their daughter Haley down in San Luis Obispo (SLO). Wilson went to school in SLO and Anderson and I were able to visit dad's old stomping grounds (ie where he ate "the whale" burrito). We were nervous for the car ride since it is about a 5 hour drive to get down there. Even more nervous since Anderson was not a fan of his car seat. He'd scream the the entire way from point A to point B. I had read somewhere that some babies just don't like the infant car seat and that upgrading them a little earlier might do the trick. Well, it worked like a charm. He loves his new car seat and so do we. We no longer have to listen to him cry in the car the entire time. In fact, now he doesn't even protest getting in!

In SLO, we went to a park to see Wilson's old boss and meet his two kids. Anderson didn't play much. He just relaxed in his stroller.


Here is a picture of Haley in the park


We went to Firestone for lunch and then walked around downtown for a little while. Drove through the Cal Poly Campus and was amazed at how nice some of the dorms are now. It's everything you imagine a California college campus looking like, down to the beach volleyball court and the European exchange student in his speedo.

It was a really nice weekend away. Anderson got to see the Pacific Ocean for the very first time! Perhaps there'll be more road trips in the future!
