First Road Trip

Kaelyn's first big trip away from home was a great success. We stayed 2 nights (Friday/Saturday) at the Cloverdale Bed & Breakfast (a.k.a. Grandparents house), which included breakfast, lunch, dinner, and childcare! Yeah! At night Polly and Gene took Kaelyn, while we caught up on some much needed sleep. We had a some rough nights with Kaelyn the previous week, but at grandma and grandpa's house she was a perfect angel, sleeping 5-6 hour blocks between feedings. Kaelyn was showing off because she wants to get invited back.

Kaelyn met her Great Grandpa Vern for the first time, as well as uncles, aunts and more family friends. We caught some of her cute little smirks and smiles on camera. Then we went to the Citrus Fair parade, which Kaelyn slept through.

On our way back home we stopped in San Francisco to meet up with Dave & Sandy Nathman at their hotel. Parking was crazy as usual in the city, especially since it was Chinesse New Year and we were right by China town. Kaelyn needed to be fed so Amy nursed her in the car... Then Kaelyn had a blowout, so I changed her in the car... 30 minutes later we were ready to meet Dave & Sandy. We've found out that going anywhere with a baby is always a huge production. 

It was a such a fun weekend (Kaelyn loved all the attention), and we look forward to our next big trip!

Looks like Kaelyn thrives on road trips and meeting her fans. I would say Cloverdale is a wonderful haven for tired parents. Sounds like the grandparents knew exactly what you needed! Glad you were able to connect with the Nathman's in SF. Love, Mom/Cathy/Grandma
