First Family Trip

We took our first family trip April 1-3 to Los Angeles for Audrey's cousin Thomas' Bar Mitzvah.  It was quite an adventure to pack up all the baby stuff we needed for the weekend away from home.  Lauren did well in the car for our first trip.  She likes to fall asleep in her carseat, and pretty much only woke up when she was hungry.  The 3.5 hour drive down took us close to 6 hours, but we expected it to take a little longer than usual!  Here are some fun pictures from the Bar Mitzvah. All the cousins were glad to meet Lauren. She slept through most of the evening, but we all had a good time!
 Cousin Debbie - Thomas' proud Mom. 
Thomas was so busy, we didn't get a chance to get a picture with him!  He is so grown up now, and it was wonderful for us to get to be there for such a special occasion.

 On the drive home, we had the perfect rest stop at our friends house in Carpenteria.  Sarah and Eyal welcomed Daniel two days before Lauren was born, so it was fun to get to see the babies together.  It was a quick visit, but it was great to see our friends.  They both loved looking up at the lights on the toy.

Lauren had so much fun playing with her new friend that she slept the rest of the car ride home to Atascadero.
