Trip to California - Part 1

Zofia, Roger and I had a wonderful visit in California. Zof and I flew out by ourselves on Thursday, May 19th, since Roger had some stuff to take care of. Our flight was uneventful. On the first leg of the flight, we had a row to ourselves, so Zofia got to sit in her car seat. It was really very comfy and Zof did great. I gave her apples to chew on at take-off and landing to keep her ears from hurting and she really didn't seem fazed at all.

She flirted with all the passengers she could get her eyes on and generally had a blast. During the layover at LAX she practiced walking around the terminal (while holding on to my fingers) and then spotted this little girl. At first the little girl was a bit scared by Stalker Baby. Zofia crawled around after her as fast as she could. But after a bit of encouragement from her daddy, she warmed up and was soon trying to talk to Zofia. They spent a bit of time pointing out the window at all of the fascinating things going on outside.

The second leg of the trip was a bit cozier, as the plane was packed and Zofia had to sit on my lap. It was just over an hour, though, and passed very quickly. We arrived in Oakland and were greeted by a very excited Babcia. Dziadzio didn't know we were coming and boy was he surprised when he walked in. We shot a video of his reaction and I will try to have that, along with more pix from the trip in the next post.
