Braxton's First Vacation Part One: Plane Ride and Sea World

In December we went on a family vacation with my Mom, Dad and sister Whitney! We went to Southern California for a week and a half and had a great time! We stayed in Oceanside California and went to all the different theme parks and sites in the area! It was Braxton's first vacation, his first plane ride, his first time going on rides, and lots of other firsts! Wish we didn't have to come home!

-BRAXTON'S FIRST PLANE RIDE-

Braxton's first plane ride wasn't as smooth as we had hoped! He did great at first but then about half way through the flight started crying and wouldn't stop! We figure it was because his ears hurt him...despite mom's attempts to have his such on his "sucky" during take off his ears must not have "popped"! At least it was a short flight!

What a cutie he is! Love you little man!


There was an open seat next to us so they let us keep his car seat, he was supposed to be just a "lap infant" but we lucked out and got to bring his seat with us!




-SEA WORLD-

The first place we visited was Sea World! Jayson and I have been there a couple times but my family and Brax had never been there! It was a super fun day! It got a little cold at the end but that didn't stop us! We even went to the Atlantis ride that gets you soaking wet! I wanted to go a second time on Atlantis ride, so my sweet dad went on it with me again even though he was freezing cold and wearing shorts! (Everyone else left us and went to get in the warm car) My dad is the best! Love you dad!
