San Diego Day 1-Balboa Park

The Hoover Clan left at about 7 pm on Tuesday so that B would sleep most of the way. As I have reported before, Bella does not like long car rides very much. We were very nervous about taking a long car ride, and didnt want to fly because we had to take her car seat,pack n play, toys,etc. So we loaded up the Tahoe w/ all her stuff, and Sadie and we were on our way. Surprisingly, she did so awesome! She stayed awake until almost 10, and did well. When we got to my dad's house, where we were staying, she was wide awake and just wanted to visit w/ everyone (it was past midnight). She walked around, went out back and just took in all the scenery for over a half hour. We were nervous about her sleeping in her pack-n play as well. She does sleep in one at the sitters, but she is very particular about sleeping in her crib at night. She won't sleep in bed w/ us, even if I try to get her to nap w/ us. She wants her crib. However, she did really well, she slept like a champ! Wednesday, along w/ Cassy, we went to Balboa Park. They have a children's museum, carousel,and lots of other stuff. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, so we just did a lot of walking and playing. We went home to a wonderful home-cooked meal and just enjoyed visiting w/ the family!
