Traveling with children is always an adventure, this was proven true on our apple picking trip to Julian this Labor Day weekend! The road to Julian is a very windy, hilly road. We found out the hard way that on windy, hilly roads when sitting on the side seat of the car instead of the middle seat, Mike gets car sick! As we were getting ready to pull into a picnic area to enjoy the picnic lunch we had packed we hear from the backseat, "Mommy, my belly hurts. . .bleegh." Needless to say, Mike had thrown up all over himself, his car seat, and the backseat of the car! Thankfully, I had a change of clothes for him in Claire's diaper bag. We stripped Mike down, pulled the car seat out of the car and got to cleaning seat and child! Once we got everything as clean as we could (about 45 minutes later) we scarfed down lunch and proceeded on the Raven Hill Apple Orchard for our day of apple picking!
Julian is hot in September! It was in the mid 90's while we picked apples and when you are used to 70 degree weather, 95 is hot! As a result, we didn't last too long at the apple orchard. After about 30 minutes we were all ready to get back into the air conditioned car and head home. Of course we couldn't go home without picking up an apple pie to enjoy after our apple picking adventure!
All in all, it was a wonderfully, chaotic day! I wouldn't have it any other way! Throw up and all!
