Emery and I are besides ourselves with excitement! We are on our way to San Diego CA for my littlest sister's high school graduation! We have not been home in months, so we are thrilled!!!
Michael cannot come. He has work and has a theatre conference in NorCal in a week, so our timing just did not work for him to come. Though it is a bummer it wont get us down! We are headed to America's finest city!
Emery will be two in Sept, so getting him free for this last trip was important. It is always hard traveling by ourselves, solo parenting a toddler riding on your lap for 5 hours, but Emery is always well behaved, so it was not too stressful a process.
Before we even headed to the airport Beka tried to tire out Emery before the flight. That included lunch at cracker barrel, and time at the park. The flight is smack in the middle of Emery's usual nap time, so I thought if I made him really tired he would sleep on the plane. What could go wrong in that plan?
We are lunch at the park between epic play sessions.
Once we had played and ate and played and played and played and played we headed back home to get our bags. They were already packed and ready to go.
We were heading out the door and Emery ate it in the driveway. We ALMOST made it out the door without an incident. This was a mild photo of how his knee looked. It bled pretty good.
We got the the airport, did the printing and the baggage and the checking and that whole headache. Once through security, we were free! We relished in being HOURS early and Emery got to play even more!
After all the play was done it was time to get on the plane! Thank goodness for family boarding! Emery was a peach during the whole trip. I had bought him head phones and my bag was FULL of snacks. We were set! He did not sleep, like I had so very well planned, but we made it in with only a few tears of tiredness. I am so thankful my boy is so easy going!
Once we landed in SD we were greeted by my wonderful older sister! She watched Emery as I grabbed all our bags and stroller.
We headed form the airport to the Padre game! We were a bit late, but my brother in law and little brothers were there waiting to greet us! It was very late for Emery with the time change, but he loved seeing everyone, and eventually fell asleep on my chest. He slept through the cheers and the fireworks! What a trooper!
From there we finally made it home and both slept soundly. The next day we just hung out around my sister's house where we were staying. We lounged in the back yard and enjoyed the wonderful weather.
We LOVE that we are able to spend this time with family in our home town.
We know there will be many more adventures to post, so stay tuned!
Love
Beka and Emery
