First Plane Ride

Miles rode on the plane for the very first time on Thursday. We headed out to California for our friends' wedding in San Mateo. =) We changed our flight to a very early morning one versus the night time flight we originally had. It worked out nicely. Miles did great on the plane. I nursed him during the ascent and descent of both trips so he his ears wouldn't get achy. (We had a layover in Minneapolis) He slept a good amount during the plane rides and when he was awake, he was pretty happy and observant of everything. He only cried when Tim had to change his diaper in the bathroom.. but in his defense, that probably didn't feel comfortable. Nothing feels comfortable in a small airplane bathroom.

Once we got to LA, we got our rental car and headed to my friend's place in Hollywood. Since we arrived earlier, we got to hang out in LA for a bit - so that was nice. We hung out with our friends Ralph and Melissa, which was a delightful surprise for this trip. And we also got to eat lunch at In and Out .. the usual first meal in California. hehe  Miles had a great time. After LA, we headed out and drove to Tim's cousin's house in Granada Hills. We hung out there for the evening. Finally, at the end of the night, we headed out again and drove to my sister's place and spent the night there. It was a very full and busy day for us, especially for Miles.
