California day 1

We've been talking about this trip for weeks. We'd ask Luke where he was going and he'd say "airplane waaaaay up in the sky!" and who was he going to see "Mickey Mouse!"


Non-stop flight Austin to L.A. (brilliant)
Fly during naptime (genius)
Let the little guy share Daddy's and MeMa's Starbucks right before taking off so he's wired and won't take a nap (not such a great idea) - finally resorted to bribery with a lollipop to keep him happy towards the end....

The first time we flew to CA, we got the cutest picture of Luke in the cockpit. This time, he wasn't so sure about it....

Lunch at Gladstone's....
Dinner at our favorite German food restaurant.... with Mommy, Daddy, MeMa, Uncle John, Aunt Sandy, Cousin Chris, Cousin Erin, Grandma & Grandpa Grote....


Our condo is by a beautiful beach which also has an awesome park...
