Rolling with Mini Cooper: Trip to Sunnyvale

AJ traveled up to San Luis Obispo on Thursday for work, so we figured it would be a good opportunity to drive another 2.5 hours up to Sunnyvale to visit Grandma Becky and The Adams/ Butler family. It was a very quick trip but we had a great time seeing everyone.

Cooper did very well on the trip. We stopped in San Luis Obispo for 4 hours so AJ could hold a few meetings. Luckily, it was very nice out so Cooper and I walked around down town. We did a little shopping and then spent our time outside. We had many visitors and Cooper flirted with all of them. Once AJ was done with work, we continued up to Sunnyvale for the last 3 hour drive. Cooper was a little more fussy as we had been on the road since 9:30, but he wasn't bad. We arrived at Grandma Becky's house around 7:30 pm. Cooper slept very well in his pack in play and slept til 6 am!!!! AJ and I were very happy about this.

We hung out at Grandma's house on Friday. Cooper was a little fussy but he enjoyed his time with Great Grandma Becky. He chatted with her. He was very interested in her glasses and kept grabbing at her mouth/ face. We then headed over to my cousin Katie's and her husband Dean's house for dinner. Katie prepared a great meal that met all of my dietary restrictions. They also bought a house last winter, and just moved in in January. So we got to see their new house.

We headed out of town on Saturday morning. We stopped by the Feder's house for a short visit before hitting the road back down to Thousand Oaks. It rained the entire time down to Thousand Oaks. It took us longer to get back home as we stopped a few times to feed Cooper and eat lunch that Grandma Becky packed for us. Cooper did great on this ride and slept most of the time. We are very lucky he enjoys being in the car.
