So we left the house at about 3am in order to make it to the airport and check in for our flight which was at 6am. We thought we were all prepared, and had put Santi to sleep in his clothes he was wearing the next day - well of course he peed all over himself so I had to change him! And then he pooped all over that outfit about 15 minutes after I'd put it on him! So the plan of keeping him "calm and quiet" and just moving him from his crib to the car didn't work out so well!
Got to the airport and all checked in and then got to the gate where we had enough time to get something for breakfast and then also get some food and milk into Santi. Boarded the plane and had a full flight. The poor guy sitting next to us (a 20 something) wasn't prepared for a grabby baby (who kept trying to grab his Kindle or would stroke his hand over the guy's arm if mom stopped watching for a second!) I ended up nursing Santi as the plane took off and he fell asleep and slept for about an hour of the 2 hour flight. The rest of the time we played with some new toys (a new car and Elmo doll) and then we were there!
Santi and I on the flight - someone's not looking so confident in the pilot's abilities!
We're here! And ready to go!
Once we got our rental car, we headed to the hotel which was in Carlsbad, CA. It was gorgeous weather and such a nice drive.
Arriving at the resort
We checked in to our room and then decided to go out and look around the resort and check out the pool since it was so nice!
Santi in the room
Our shower with the rain spout - making it difficult to bathe Santi while we were there since there was no tub! We ended up showering with him!
Lime trees on the property! I dared Tito to snag one but he wouldn't!
After exploring the resort, we headed to lunch and to grab some baby food at Target, and then decided to see if we could find the beach.
On our way to the beach - we almost didn't recognize this glowing ball in the sky!
Surfer dude!
Beach!
Santi was mesmerized by the waves
The family - California style!
Surfer dude in the making?
After the beach we headed back to the hotel and to the pool. They had three pools - one was a kiddie only pool which was shallow and had a beach area. The other was an adult and older kid pool and the final pool was the waterslide pool. It took everything in me not to want to jump on those waterslides! I love them!
At the pool - Santi did awesome! He is definitely a water baby. By the end of the trip we had him in up to his armpits and he was laughing and smiling the whole time!
After the pool, we went and helped with some set up for the gala the next evening and then had some dinner and went to bed.
