"Uhhh.... Mom and Dad... it's a little cramped in here. How about a new car seat already?"

Ronan was a dream on the car trip back from the cabin... Slept, smiled, stared out the window, laughed, slept again.... We learned our lesson: drive the baby during the DAY. He absolutely hated the trip UP to Almanor. We left at night thinking he'd sleep the whole way up there, but instead he got really upset, scared, etc. and we had to stop every hour to soothe him. Poor little guy!
