So we have been out and about a lot these last two weeks. Colin has put up with an airplane trip to San Diego and back, and 2 round trips to Portland. Not to mention driving ALL over Portland for 3 days. The plane rides went pretty well. He fell asleep on the first leg of the flight in both directions so he was all wound up and ready to run around and play for the last half of each flight. He had fun, but it was kind of hard on us since we had to keep him on our laps when all he wanted to do was get down and crawl. The road trips to Portland went pretty smoothly with Colin sleep pretty much all the long driving legs. He put up with being stuck in the car pretty well ... he got bored after a while, but since we were stopping to check out apartments he got enough change in scenery to keep him happy. The only hard part was that he stopped wanting to get in the car. He would fight us every time we tried to put him back in his seat, and then he was fine once we started moving. We are waiting to hear back about an apartment, and the place we applied at has a pool, a playground and lots of grass, so Colin approves.
