CA Days 5-10
Things rreally sped up at the tail end of our CA vacation. For 4 days and 3 nights we went camping at Big Sur with our old church, along with our two families and lotsa good friends. I was scared to death about the logistics of camping with a baby which also involves hunting, but it was actually not too bad! He slept in the pack n play in our tent with the white noise machine (batteries!), waking only one or two times every night. My husband was mindful when he got out to buy 5.56 ammo online and made sure he was using it responsibly. Of course, he was like a little rooster, waking up our entire campsite at 7 am sharp! But he was still able to take one or two long naps a day in the tent, sometimes falling asleep in other places (depending on what we were doing).
One of the things that made it easier was the fact that the Cones and the Honeycutts had sites right next to each other! This meant that as long as an adult was at either site and agreed to be the designated “G listener” during nap/sleep times, Jesse and I could roam the campground, sitting around campfires, chatting with good friends like Tim and Hope. In other words, because of G’s decent sleep habits that survived even the wackiest of schedules, along with gracious parents, Jesse and I were able to have quite a bit of “baby free” time to just chill, go hiking/swimming, ride bikes to get icecream at the lodge, etc. It was very fun and very needed.
Day 3 in CA
This morning, after visiting the Greek Orthodox church in SLO with Amber, Keith and G, we met back up with the rest of the family at home to eat a leisurely lunch. While G took a loooong 3 hour afternoon nap, we played games on the Wii.
Once G awoke, we went to San Simeon beach (not 10 minutes from where Jesse proposed to me 6 years ago!) to watch the Elephant Seals.
After eating yummy dinner at a seaside cafe called The Cavalier, we made it home just in time to put G to bed…but not before he could melt hearts with his yummy cuteness!
We finished the evening off with a rousing game of “Apples to Apples” (my family is obsessed with this game!). Also, Amber happened to catch the funniest moment of the night, all on film. Since her camera is HD, it is taking forever to load on to Youtube, but it will be here soon…stay tuned!
