The long awaited day arrived as we woke up in La Jolla. There was only one thing to do – get packed up and drive the 86 miles North to the Happiest Place on Earth. The drive to Anaheim was easy, at least as a passenger. We got to our hotel shortly after 11am and…
A day off – well mostly. After two days at theme parks we decided that we would all be best for all of us to have a less structured day. So we spent time relaxing around the house. The girls played the Nintendo DS and we visited with Marcia while Martin worked out. We had…
Off we went again – this time a few miles to the South to Sea World! We had pre-purchased our tickets, so we were able to head right into the park, and since we arrived around 9:30am, we were greeted by Shamu and his friends. The girls posed for pictures with the animals. We decided…
First theme park… Success! {Watch the slideshow and then read about the day! – oh, and if you click on the slideshow, you can get a “fancy view”} We got to the park around 9:30 and into the park about 10 minutes later. To start things off, we went on the Coast Cruise to see…
Last night, Camryn and Hayden were setup in Teddy’s room and Sam and I were across the hall in Audrey’s room. Unfortunately, Hayden was a bit restless and shortly after midnight I switched rooms and slept with Camryn. That way if Hayden was restless, I could take care of things without it waking Camryn. Always…
Starting today with 9951 miles on the car after driving around Walnut Creek for the day yesterday. Early start, thanks to my failed attempt to get some work done before everyone woke up. Lasted all of about 10 minutes. So after a quick breakfast at the hotel and packing the car, Sam took the wheel…
Wow, we woke up without the alarm clock and no mileage expectation! Tomorrow the starting mileage will include our time in and around Walnut Creek… And all the valet parking (the hotel only has valet) The girls slept in, until about 8:30. Quite a change from their usual 6 or 6:30 starts. We had a…
Another day has begun, with Sam behind the wheel and the girls watching Tangled on the dual-screen DVD players. We started the day with 9564 miles on the odometer, so yesterday we drove 485 miles! First stop was unplanned – a rest stop for Hayden to use the potty. We then drove to Redding for…
When we started this morning, the car had 9079 miles on it. We left right around 7:35 and had our first stop a few minutes later to figure out the DVD player malfunction! Turns out, the a/v cable was more of an a-only cable which wasn’t going to work for Camryn and Hayden to watch…
Camryn attended soccer camp this week. I will admit, I was a little nervous that she would just sit on the sidelines and not be willing to participate. But, my fears were put to rest after the first day when she announced It was sort of fun! That was huge… I mean, she rarely expresses…
