orlando's cousin got married on march 7th, so we decided to be brave and take our first road trip as a family of four. honestly, i was prepared for a rough drive wherein the kiddos took turns being awake and grumpy, but it turns out, the drive there was idyllic. seriously we got so lucky! and we have the best kids ever. they both slept for four straight hours, then we stopped to eat and nurse lia, and the last hour and a half, luc watched a movie and lia slept some more. we arrived two hours sooner than we'd planned, and no one cried at all. orlando and i got to talk to each other uninterrupted for hours, which was almost my favorite part of the whole trip haha, it was so fun!
we arrived right before bedtime so these cute cousins didn't get much playing time, but the next morning luc woke up and shouted 'i'm still at max's house, HOORAY!' and they played alllll morning together.
orlando's cousin's wedding was lovely, and keeping luc out of the dirt and quiet for the entire ceremony was an olympic feat. my favorite part was seeing this handsome man i'm married to sway with our beautiful daughter on the dance floor. those two have a special bond and i love it.
it was a quick trip, but we managed to squeeze in a few hours at the beach, per luc's sole request. he was in heaven, and played for almost four hours, despite the water being freezing {the ocean in march is SO COLD!!!}. while he played, lia napped {she's a mouth breather, haha}, and it was a perfectly relaxing sunny day spent with our family. san diego is always good to us!
the drive home wasn't as idyllic- luc didn't nap AT ALL, so he was pretty grumpy the last hour and a half, but thankfully lia slept almost the whole time and our awesome friends let us borrow their portable dvd player, so that kept luc pretty happy the rest of the time. now i feel super-human, we conquered our first road trip with two kids, we can do ANYTHING!
