Quinn's first trip to California, part 1

Saturday, April 9, 2005

We flew United (first class!) through Chicago and SF to Monterey. Quinn was great! I carried him in the Baby Bjorn in Bradley, then we used the stroller on the layovers. Besides Matt leaving his I-pod and headphones on the plane, the flight went very smoothly. We got to the house and Matt grilled chicken while we visited with Aunt Cake. Mom came back from her school reunion in San Francisco (900 people!) with her friends and their dog. "Tai Chi" did not like Quinn! Perhaps because Quinn was all over the rug showing off his "scooting" skills to Aunt Cake.

Matt decided that Quinn needed to go to his first Giants game! After much convincing, we got Grammy to go with us. Our rental car is a Chevy Uplander -- a minivan/SUV hybrid with the world's largest gas tank. We stopped and called Mrs. Garvey, Matt's grandmother, but she was out. On to the game....Matt negotiated great seats down the third base line. Quinn was heavily sunblocked and covered up. After deciding that he was too hot, Matt purchased him a Giants onesie and changed him in a first aid room! At the game, fans booed the singer at the seventh inning stretch (why? I can't remember). The Giants won 10-4, Jason Schmidt had two hits in one inning. We called Mrs. Garvey from the stadium and she was home, so we were able to stop by for a visit! She was very happy to meet and hold Quinn and Mom was very glad to see her.
