San Luis Obispo

After Colin was picked up, we hit the road for San Luis Obispo. Tom had a meeting and we figured it would be best if we tagged along in case I went into labor. Pretty sure he wishes we stayed back in San Diego!

Five blocks from the house, I realized I didn't pack our toothbrushes. We turned around and Tom ran in to get them.

Round Two: We made it to the highway and were close to La Jolla when we started talking about the hotel pool. My mind - 'Hotel pool... Cole's swim trunks... Wait, we put his suitcase in the car, right?! Stupid pregnancy brain... He is going to kill me!' Thank goodness he's a patient man. We turned around and back home we went.

Round Three: Cole fortunately fell asleep at this point and didn't wake up until we hit L.A. traffic. TONS of construction, so bulldozers and rollers kept him entertained along with planes, buildings and billboards (each time he saw a Coors Light sign he'd yell, "Icky beer!" Nice, Tom...). Around Ventura we gave him the iPad. Thirty minutes later he said, "All done, mama" and handed it to me in the front. We couldn't believe it but not even two seconds later he was puking everywhere. Cruising down the highway + Ginormous belly keeping me from hopping in the back = Disaster. We pulled off the highway and stripped him down in front of a car dealership. Snacks? Too hot? Looking at the iPad? Merely car sick? Whatever the case, Tom's two co-pilots made the five hour trip, a seven hour trip.

Monday morning I dropped Tom off at the Rick office and we went back to the hotel for cartoons/breakfast and pool time. We checked out at 11am, explored two parks and it was 5pm before we knew it. Back to Rick Eng and back on the road to San Diego - Quick trip, but memories to last a lifetime!
