An Adventure to Palm Springs with Taft!!

So I haven't written in a while so I have a lot to catch up on. I have recently gone to Palm Springs with Taft and his mom Melissa. She had a conference to go to so we tagged along with her. I had no idea what would happen since this was the first time I had gone away from home without family with me and also to take care of Taft. I was excited to see what adventures this trip would bring for me. We had a great flight to Orange County, Taft slept the whole plane ride which was very helpful. When we landed we got our rental car which was a Pontiac Vibe. It was a joke trying to fit my suitcase, Melissa's two suitcases plus the stroller which isn't small!! then trying to get Taft in plus ourselves it took us a few minutes to figure out what our game plan was going to be. We then had to drive to Palm Springs which was about 106 miles from the airport so we began our drive and Taft slept the whole way. What a good baby!! After a long drive we got to our destination we unpacked and got settled in for the night. Lets just say I ended up waking up almost every 3 hours with the baby during the night. He was having a hard time sleeping in a new environment and crib. I felt bad for him! So after the first night I decided to see if sleeping in his car seat would work better since he loves his car seat while playing music from my computer as well, but nope he still woke up every 3 hours so I was tired and he was tired so while he was napping in the morning I did the same even though it wasn't a deep sleep it helped as much as it could I guess.  Since Melissa was working she told me that Taft and I were going to go to dinner with her co-worker Desirae to anywhere we wanted so we chose the Cheesecake Factory and it was so YUMMY and it was super nice to get out of our hotel room for a while and enjoy the trip! The next day I packed up my stuff and Taft's while Melissa was at work so that it would be ready to go when she got back. We left the hotel and went to lunch with some of Melissa's co-workers it was so fun to get to meet them and put names to faces. Then we began our trek back to the airport. We made it there it plenty of time to catch our flight and get through security which by the way is a joke especially with a baby. For example we had to take care of our stuff first then take Taft out of his car seat fold it down send it through then fold the stroller down and send it through while trying to catch your stuff coming out the other end so itdoesn't start making everything back up after you get your stuff together and trying to but the baby back together and packing up everything so it fits just the way you had it before so you can get on the plane makes any human being in need of a nap!!! LOL. Anyway all in all it was a good learning experience and fun as well and I'm sure there will be more trips in the future. 

P.S.  It was 113 degrees in Palm Springs while we where there so we didn't leave the hotel room except when we had to!  

Here are some pics from the journey:
