We went to see Grandpa and Mama Bea Sheets in VA at the beginning of Oct. It was soooo fun! Mom and dad got to ride a lot in Mama Bea's new Cooper Convertible, (I didn't...something about a car seat not fitting...WHATEVER!)
We saw so much scenery that I actually did lose my breakfast on one day's drive! All in all Virginia is beautiful!
We went to see Mom mom in Maryland and saw a bunch of daddy's other family too, in MD and in VA.
I got to know my Aunt Bethany and new Uncle Joel a lot more...I love "Dole"! We went to the coolest park on the planet, we ate a lot, we hugged and kissed and had the best time!
Thanks Mama Bea and Grandpa for the awesome trip!

| Family vacation to VA 10-2007 |
We went to Julian in the San Diego mountains last weekend and what an adventure that was...to say the least. It started nicely with a yummy breakfast at home with mom and dad of scrambled eggs with ground beef and cheese and toast..mmmmmm...then we headed off to Grandpa and Grandma's in San Clemente with Auntie Erin (this trip was for her birthday). We met them and Auntie Grace and were off to the mountains...not a fun drive once on the curvy road...everyone got to see my breakfast a second time! Mom was really upset with the mess and the fact that she had forgotten to bring extra clothes didn't help. So we cleaned up, well mom, dad and Grace did, I just stood in my diaper in a parking lot screaming for all to know I didn't feel good! I rode in my diaper with ALL the windows down the rest of the way up. We spent a good part of the afternoon looking for something for me to wear...all the while I'm screaming in the stroller with daddy who wasn't happy either. By the way, if anyone wants to make a LOT of money, they need to move to Julian and open a kids clothing store!! They had nothing for us little people up there!! About 10 stores later mom found a souvenir shirt for $5.00 but no pants...we looked in a bunch more stores (pretty much every store in the town...literally) but found no pants. Mom was about to offer a bunch of money to a stranger with a kid the same age for a pair of their pants!! Grandma suggested we check with the bed and breakfast, maybe lost and found...so we did. All they had was a pair of women's XS pajama pants, (mom says thanks to whoever left them!). They had a draw string so we took them and tried them...they worked! They fell down to my ankles a couple times but I had pants...daddy and Grandpa put them on me and cut the legs to fit while mommy was in a store. Mom laughed a lot when she came out and saw me, she said I looked like a hobo baby.
This is the finished product:
Mom says we're stopping along the road for site seeing (and car sickness avoidance) next time we take a mountain drive.
