Jack has had a week of firsts! His first trip to the beach, lake Tahoe, and his first trip to the Pacific Ocean.
Our trip began again just a bit later than we had wanted; about an hour behind schedule. We are getting better. It is harder than I realized to get four adults and one baby out of the house in the morning. Especially when the only true morning person is Jack.
And the last thing you want to do with a three month old when they are having fun and laughing is put them in car seat for a drive. He is too much fun! We just want to play with him.
Anyway I digress and there is a story to tell. So of we go to half-moon bay knowing that Jack is going to have to eat in about 30 min. We go for it and decide lets see where we are in 30 minutes and play it by ear.
Like clock work, 30 min later he is up and wants to eat. He is making this point abundantly clear – the screaming was a dead give away. I pull over at the next exit and find us a nice shady spot under a tree for a Jack picnic. Jack has his picnic followed by a quick diaper change and we are off 40 minutes later. Not bad on time. Its not NASCAR pit crew speed but we got the job done. The clock starts again 2 hours and ticking.
We had two hours to get from just outside Davis on I-80 to Half Moon Bay to see the ocean and feed the baby before he was hungry again… we made it ocean.
They only downside was that there was no way to warm milk at the side of the ocean.
The warmest thing around was the dead seal on the beach and it did not seam like a good idea to use that as a bottle warmer.
Jack suggested it, however, and I told him that it was very unsanitary and mommy would be mad at us. So we toughed it out and went with the cold milk.
After spending a bit of time at the beach looking at the ocean, the many birds and the dolphins jumping in the water we decided it was too chilly and time to move on. We headed north up the coast on HWY 1 to San Francisco and over the golden gate bridge to get home.
The rest of the trip was relatively event free and the upside was Jack either played with Tia Vivi in the back or slept the rest of trip home!
