First trip to LA


Last week, we took Riley on his first trip to the West Coast to visit GeeGee!  We had such a great time spending time with GeeGee, entertaining cousins and exploring LA.



Our flights were pretty good and Riley did a great job!  There were a few times where he wasn't super happy but nothing a trip to the back of the plane for some walking couldn't cure. He slept for 2 1/2 hours on the way there and Riley even made friends with a 9 month old baby!


One of the highlights of the trip was taking Riley to the beach.  We went to Santa Monica and Riley put his feet in the sand and in the ocean for the first time!  He liked the sand between his toes and we can tell that he will like playing at the beach when he is older, too!


When we were done playing on the beach, we made our way over to the pier and had a great view of the ocean as the sun was starting to set.


We also had a great time when cousins came over to visit, at the jewelry mart, at Universal CityWalk and just spending time with GeeGee!  We miss being with GeeGee already and can't wait for our next visit!

The picture with GeeGee is amazing! So perfect. He looks a little pissed in the picture with his name in the sand, but the pic you emailed up close with his toes in the sand is the most precious thing ever. He's thrilled, but Erin the smile on your face is perfect too. A happy mommy, seeing her baby having fun. I'm so glad you had a great trip to LA!

p.s. it looks like he was very happy on the plane too, nice work Dad
