Trip From Hell
So our supposed to be totally awesome,fun get the H out of the cold Cali/Hawaii trip has turned into a total nightmare, WHY? because my baby boy won't sleep and won't stop whining and crying. We left 2 nights ago at 8pm and drove straight through the night, WHY? I don't know, we meant to leave earlier in the day but it always takes longer then you think it will to pack and get everything ready to go. So we just decided to get on the road and thought Crew would just sleep through the night in the car like he normally would in his crib at home, and it would make the drive easier on us. WRONG, he couldn't ever get completely comfortable and kept waking up, and I slept ma by 2 30 minute cat naps the whole night, by the time we arrived in cal I was exhausted, insanely uncomfortable and irritable. We are staying in Seal Beach at a beach house owned by a good friend of my families, the Balls. So we had to go to the Balls house in Downey 1st to get the key, I talked to Roger Ball when we were leaving Town and told him we would get to his house about 5 am and he said he would just leave the key out on his front porch. We get to Downey at 4:45 am California time and just like he said the key was on the porch, so we drive down to the beach house a 30 minute drive away. Go to open the door and the key won't go in the key hole, ITS THE WRONG FREAKING KEY. NO WAY! were all bloody exhausted at this point and all we want to do is get in that house put our kid down and go to sleep. Call Roger and he can't meet up with us till 8 am to get us the right key, its 5:15 am, what the H are we supposed to do for 3 hours. Long story short we hang out at Mcdonalds till 8:00, and we finally get in the house. But ever since then Crew has been a absolute nightmare, WHINEY WHINEY WHINEY, I can't stand whining it drives my brain batty. He won't sleep which means I haven't slept. Its 3:30 am right now and Crew is UP UP UP, DING lets play, WTF. Anyway I had a total breakdown when he woke up at 2am, cried and needed to vent, so there you go. I don't know that I have the strength to get on that plane on Saturday and fly the 5 1/2 hours to Hawaii, at this rate I don't know what he'll be like, whining, crying, screaming with everyone on the plane hating us, ma by, ma by not, all I feel like doing right now is turning right around and going back home so Crew could at least get back on his regular schedule and I could be sain again. So things aren't so Rosey down here at the beach, amazing how a crabby 1 year old can suck every ounce of fun out of your seemingly perfect winter getaway.

ya traveling with a baby is fun! now you know why I said that we are not taking our kids with us to Oregon!
Oh Ashley, I'm so sorry! You're just reminding me why Peter and I say we'll never take our kids on vacation when they're little. Granted we don't have kids yet, but I imagine we'll stick to it even then. Good luck. I hope Crew settles down so you can start enjoying your vacation. Call me when you get back.
Ahhhh ha ha ha!
Benadryl!
Love it.
Kort got slipped a few benadryl rufies in his baby days too! He TOTALLY got thrown off by travel. It wasn't worth it to go anywhere because he wouldn't sleep!
NIGHTMARE.
Kona will love you long time baby, don't worry! You'll feel better soon.
