I am sure you are getting the idea even though I am sure I forgot some stuff. That was all just for him excluding stuff for the dogs, me, and the hubs. Squished in the car for a 3.5 hour drive. He did good on the way down there. He fussed once or twice but the pacifier saved us. We stopped in Santa Barbara for quick change, feed, and bathroom break. Otherwise smooth sailing. We had a great visit. Bear got to meet some  new faces. A bit off his schedule, but nothing a bouncy patio chair could not take care of. He saw his first beach visit, and had his first beach feeding. Listening to the soft sounds of the waves crashing and birds singing. Mel was did an awesome job taking baby pictures of Bear. I hope to get some printed off and framed! He is really beginning to laugh and talk.
Thankfully we made it home but that was only after about 3 or 4 stops. Bear had decided that the car seat was not for him, as well as the pacifier.
