On Sunday, we departed for a FULL day in Santa Cruz with Uncle Yoyo, Aunt Neenie, Tylie and Tody. Amelia got up early, so we decided that to meet the cousins down at the beach at 10, we would leave early, head to Half Moon Bay for breakfast and then off down the coast. It was a lovely morning and by the time the other Reeths arrived, we were all in high spirits.
Miles had a blast playing on the beach with the everyone. Amelia, on the other hand, had a really hard time trying to nap - not that I can blame her, people were everywhere and time was accented by the screams on the roller coaster. Poor Amelia - she was doing such a GREAT job sleep training, and then we just threw a major monkey wrench into the mix. She finally fell asleep in my arms - which also promptly fell asleep. When she woke up, Tim held her just long enough for my blood to come back into my arms before I held her again to feed her.
After lunch, Miles took a nap in a little tent we had brought with us. I had to negotiate with him for a while before her slept, but he was tired so he eventually went down. After his nap, we took advantage of the boardwalk rides. Miles followed Kylie all over the park and had a wonderful time.
We extended the day into dinner to let the traffic over the hill before we hit the road. Dinner was great, but we found ourselves right in the thick of it. It actually took us about 75 minutes to go 20 miles so we got Miles home for bed super late.
The day was super wonderful, and we will definitely do it again soon - but maybe on a Saturday so Miles has a little time to recover before going off to daycare super exhausted.
