We went to California, just the three of us, and we drove.
We rented a car in Great Falls and had a great time being together. We stopped in Logan, UT to visit two of Spencer's brothers then in Cedar City to visit Spencer's sister, it broke up the trip nicely. We planned this trip maybe six months ago, and finding out I was prego didn't deter us, I love vacations!! We were gone almost 2 weeks, and didn't fight or get annoyed at each other, it was just pure bliss, I really LOVE being with my family, they are the BEST!!
We did Disneyland, California Adventure, SeaWorld, Universal Studios, and hit up Huntington Beach and Santa Monica Beach. I loved Cars Land in C.A., it was so awesome, probably my favorite part about the trip, and the hour wait for Radiator Springs Racers was totally worth the wait. Also, it was Halloween while we were there, and the initial plan was to go trick or treating in Beverly Hills, sounds pretty sweet. But too bad Kali got heatstroke the day before and threw up all night, so we spent Halloween day watching movies in our hotel. I made her get dressed up that night, and we went to Huntington Beach where they closed off a few blocks to traffic to give out candy and set up a bunch of bouncy castles. Kali had fun I think, and I liked how safe we felt in that area.
I can't say that I love LA, it's a bit too busy and big and smoggy for me, I'm a small city, Medicine Hat kind of girl now. And I did all the driving in California with my trusty GPS, currently named Jack, but sometimes he really ticked me off. ((Side thought: Our GPS used to be named Doris, when she was speaking in a female British accent. But I hated having a woman telling me what to do!! So I changed it to Jack.)) The freeways can be a little overwhelming, and traffic can be pretty crazy, it amazed me to a stupor to see people texting and driving on those freeways.
Spencer and I have no desire to do that trip anytime soon, we were probably in that car for 60 hours, no joke. But for me, I just loved being with Spence and Kali, holding hands, exploring and having fun together. It really brought us closer together, and I am still enjoying being with them.
She? ;) Little girls are the best!
ReplyDeleteSo you hate a woman telling you what to do but you're okay with a man doing it? Hmmm, what does that tell me about you? Not sure, but interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love how close you three are. It is inspiring and cute.
