Levi the Traveler - Part 1: L.A.

Our family has been introduced to traveling. I was a little nervous leading up to our trip because I wasn't sure how Levi would handle all of the flights of our itinerary to L.A. and then Hilton Head. He's a pretty chill little guy, so we had hoped he would do great and luckily we were right. We were thankful to have a short flight to L.A. first to introduce him to air travel.

We got to San Francisco airport extra early to make sure we had enough time to get through security and to the gate with all of our gear. We showed up to the security line, they sent us to the first class line which was shorter and it ended up being a breeze. I managed our stuff and Levi's milk and vitamins while daddy carried Levi through the metal detector. We ended up having plenty of time at the gate before boarding. Unlike other airlines (United), Virgin lets families board early so they can get settled, so Levi and I got on the plane first while daddy gate checked his car seat and stroller.

Levi's first flight was a success, and he did great the entire flight. We got a few family pictures before take-off.

On our way off the plane, we bumped into our pilot and asked him for a pair of wings, which he kindly gave to us. We also asked him if we could get a picture with him, and he must have though we just wanted a picture of us on the plane. Before we knew it we were sitting in the cock pit getting our picture taken by the pilot. What a first flight for Levi!

We met up with my parents at the airport and grabbed dinner on the way home.

The rest of the weekend just flew by...

On Saturday, we went to Becca & Adam's wedding in Riverside. It was an absolutely gorgeous wedding and we are so glad we were able to be a part of the celebration. Jeff was asked to read a passage during the ceremony, so mommy was on her own making sure Levi was on his best behavior during the ceremony. Levi did pretty well and only got a little fussy for a few minutes, so we stepped outside until he calmed down and then he slept during the rest of the ceremony. Levi joined us for most of the reception and even got to participate in the photo booth and have his first dance with mommy.

On Sunday, Bebe and Granddad hosted an open house brunch so that friends and family were able to meet Levi while we were in town. He was the center of attention and was definitely the life of the party. It was great to see everyone!
