In an "hairpay" up in the "ky"

Off to California!

Brett, Brayden and I flew cross-country a couple of weeks ago to visit Brett’s family and allow Brett to participate in his best friend’s houseboat bachelor party extravaganza. It is a long way to go and a hard trip on the little one, but always well worth it.

This time around Brett and I were smart and gave Brayden his own seat on the airplane (or “hairpay” as Brayden says). This was the best idea ever. Even though the airlines allow you to have a child on your lap until 2 years old, it makes everyone happy to have their own space. He did great! He would whine every now and then due to boredom, but mostly he was fine with looking out the window and having Daddy and Mommy at his fingertips. Even though it may look like he slept the whole way from the picture, this was only for a mere 30 minutes or so. Brett and I were so happy to get even that much peace and quiet compared to none on our previous flights.

Once we arrived we were happily greeted by Brett’s mom and then taken off to their house in San Jose. Brayden was pretty tired (he managed to not meltdown after being awake with no nap for almost 12 hours!) and we put him to bed right away. He was a champ and napped for almost 4 hours. We were all happy to see him wake up with a smile on his face.

The first night went well and as we expected he was up at the crack of dawn due to the 3-hour time change. So…Brett and I were up and ready to get out of the house pretty early. We managed to drag ourselves to breakfast at the Los Gatos Café (our fave place in LG) and then out to the park to try and tire the little man out so he would nap well.

Brayden had a blast being with his Grandma and Grandpa Robinson and I hope you enjoy some of the pictures of Brayden at Grandma’s house.
