HUGE thanks to Jeff and Lindsey for your excellent hospitality. We really enjoyed our visit and stay with you. Thanks also for bearing with us while Oliver sprouted his first tooth. We probably owe Daisy the dog a few milk bones for being such a good sport about it also.
The only way to travel.... crashed out in the middle seat.
If the flight attendants would have quite coming on the intercom to ask if anyone had change for a $20, he probably would have slept the whole way to San Diego.
Sitting up like a big boy, giving Michigan Duck a little love.(Michigan Duck because that is where Keith got it for him and is says Michigan on the front of the duck. I know, we're not very creative with names yet)
We have arrived.
Keith and I are the FIRST to admit that we aren't light packers. Adding Oliver to the mix has doubled our load.
Chillin' with Uncle Jeff
The first night we were in San Diego it was Jeff's graduation party at Miguel's mexican restaurant. Oliver was a trooper and did very well through dinner. By the time dinner was complete, he had crashed on Dad's chest while we were all chatting.
Sunday morning Jeff graduated from the University of California at San Diego with his MBA.
Here is the happy graduate with his very happy wife, Lindsey.
Jeff and Keith.
Jeff posing in front of the ocean view, that wasn't much of a view. Unfortunately, the marine layer of clouds was quite thick this morning and we couldn't really see the ocean. The good part was that it kept it cool for the graduation ceremony.
This photo cracks me up! Keith stood in the back with Oliver. Oliver hardly slept the night before and he was in and out of naps during graduation. We left him in the stroller to just be cozy. I thought this looked like Oliver MUST be famous and Keith was his body guard. HA HA!! What a great Dad!!
Graduated.... AT LAST!!!
Family Photo. We pulled Oliver out of the stroller for a quick family photo. I'm not sure that he was too thrilled, but he looked at the camera anyway.
Monday we went to Sea World. Oliver didn't have many smiles, but he was quite attentive to the Shamu and Dolphin shows. He also loved the Shark tunnel.
Here is a photo that Keith took of the beluga whales eating that I thought was very cool.
There was a tunnel that had a moving sidewalk that we rode through. Around the tunnel were sharks swimming very close by. Oliver was so mesmerized that we went through twice. His eyes were HUGE and right on the sharks. You can tell by these photos how he doesn't feel well. Poor little guy.
After the first ride through the tunnel we stopped for a family photo. Oliver is hanging on to Dad's head like the monkey's we see at the Denver zoo.
Round 2 through the tunnel. I wish you could see the sharks, but they were all around us and very large.
Oliver watching the Shamu show. He had his eye on the big whales jumping around. I think he was analyzing the whole thing. Sometimes, I wish I knew what he was thinking. He sure seems to have a lot going on in his head.
Jeff, Oliver and Keith waiting for the dolphin show. Oliver seemed quite impressed with the Dolphin show and was feeling a little better. We actually saw a few smiles!
Oliver LOVED Daisy the dog. Here he is trying his flirtatious side look with Daisy to see if she'll let him pet her. She was very good with him.
Ahhh.... Oliver finally got to pet Daisy.
Monday was my 32nd birthday and after Sea World Keith and I went to dinner at Peohe's in Coronado. We were nervous to leave Oliver since he hadn't felt well, but we figured he was in good hands with Nana, Papa, Aunt Lindsey, Uncle Jeff and Daisy the dog. Dinner was great and we had a very nice time. Here we are standing in front of the San Diego sky line.
After dinner we went for a walk on the beach. Since we were the only ones there we took a few self portraits.
Having fun on the beach.
AHHH.... so refreshing on the toes.
After a long weekend of being tourists and Oliver teething, he was quite tired. While we were waiting for the airplane to depart, he literally Crashed on Keith. He leaned forward and went to sleep. This was a first! Crazy Kid!! 
Happy to be on the airplane.
Legs up Loungin'.
I had a leg fence in front of Oliver so he wouldn't tumble off the chair. I guess he thought he should have a leg up also.
Ahh.... another nap. Life is good as a 10 month old!

Sounds like Oliver waited for a memorable weekend to sprout his first tooth! He really must be Hazel's cousin, as she just recently sprouted her first on a similar trip she and I took to Southern California! Great photos - looks like he did well on the plane! :)
