Today was a big day for Campbell.  He got to go on his first plane ride all the way to LAX – and then on to San Diego in the car.

We got him up super early for a 5:50 a.m. flight.  He did great on the plane and even took a nap with mom.  He made friends with another nearby baby and did a lot of “talking,” but thankfully not much crying.

Here’s a shot of Campbell waiting for dad to pick us up in the rental car.

And, here are a couple of Campbell by President Nixon’s helicopter.  We visited his presidential museum and library (even though part of it was closed for renovation) on the way to San Diego.

We are also learning that Campbell doesn’t like to sleep in his stroller, unfortunately, but he did get a something of a nap on the drive to San Diego.  But between being up at 4:30 and only napping for a little while in the car, he definitely needed a nap.  Unfortunately, he didn’t want to nap in the pack ‘n play at the hotel (Loew’s Coronado) either.  Here’s a shot after dad finally got him to close his eyes for at least a few minutes in the room.  Hopefully, he’ll sleep better when we try it tonight.

Also, today Campbell tried whole milk for the first time.  Thankfully he didn’t even seem to notice the difference.  Yay!  That makes things much easier going forward!
