Boys Trip

Caden is becoming more aware of daddy working. I am gone before he wakes up and home in time to force dinner down his throat and get him to bed. It isn’t always that bad, but I have been working a lot recently and Caden hates it. I had the idea for a boys trip for awhile. Just Caden and I head off to CA to visit Grandpa David. We have been talking it up for months how we would take trains, and planes and buses and play on the beach and see the zoo and play with Grandpa. We made it happen this month. Flew to Los Angeles for the sole reason of being able to take a train ride to Santa Barbara.

The weather was phenomenal. Sunny and green for most of the trip. Made me miss my old town. We spent hours on the beach. Plan all you want for a CA trip, Caden is happy knee deep in sand and letting the waves crash into him. We also saw some old friends, had some good food and just seriously enjoyed being outside.

Caden is a world class traveler. It took over 8 hours of flying, busing, and training to get there and Caden loved every second of it. Daddy loved spending some one on one time with his boy. Even Caden mentioned it a couple of times how we were just spending time together.

And while mommy missed us terribly, word is she and Molly had a blast on their own. Shopping, playing and getting some time together without the boys making a ruckus.

Lots of pictures of course, compliments of me and mostly grandpa David. Click here to enjoy.

It seems almost unfair that we live in Colorado given Caden’s attraction to the beach
