we ran into construction in santa barbara, and all the stop-and-go motion woke theo up who decided he had to eat RIGHT THEN. i was driving because ryan was in the peak of his mono sickness and i don't know the freeway as well as he does. i got off at the first exit i could and found street parking, which was lucky because i think the beach was only a few blocks away. while i fed theo ryan took sully out to walk around, and by the time i was done sully decided he was done driving in the car. we loaded him back in screaming bloody murder and then had to find a bathroom for meredith. it took us (me) forever to find a way to get back on the freeway because i was flustered and listening to screeching. i finally got back on and found another exit in montecito (of which meredith said, 'everyone is so attractive!')where meredith found a coffee shop to use the bathroom.
getting back on the freeway involved a crazy 6-way stop, but we eventually made it. the whole stop, inlcuding feedings and bathroom breaks, took one hour.
here's a little video from our stop in montecito.
