My brother, J, and his wife, A, are proud parents of a new baby boy. The primary reason for my vacation was to see my new nephew, CT, and visit my parents.
First, I had to get there so I packed up my car, loaded the two beagles, myself and hit the road for our two day car trip to California. We are the Traveling Trio.
After a 10/11 hour drive, we were ready for our first nights sleep.
The boys were also tired and doing a quality control check on the bed, known as the Roll Test. :-)

The next day. The plan is to handover the boys to S and daughter K. They'll take the two boys for a few days while I continue on to visit my parents and my brother's family.
We were definitely getting a little weary being in the car. Also, we're not used to the warm, bright thing floating in the sky, Sol. We must be in California!
Catching a few rays and breathing in the fresh air.

Afterwards, I made it to my parent's house and rested. Over the next few days with my new digital camera I took many, many pictures of my nephew.
CT posing on the couch - having watched too much Star Trek growing up, when ever I see a baby on a couch I am reminded of the episode, The Corbomite Maneuver, where Balok, played by a very young Clint Howard, offers the landing party tranya.
However, no tranya here. :-)
Just a very cute baby boy!
Giving the camera a look ala Zoolander?

Uncle, me, gets to hold the baby.
Look no crying or screaming. :-)

Congratulations to J and A on their baby boy!
