San Diego April 2011

On Friday April 4 we started our journey towards sunny Southern California. We left around 4pm and stayed the night in Cedar City with our dear friends the Halladays. They weren't home when we arrived so me made ourselves at home in their basement until they arrived around around 11:30pm. We always find a way to giggle with each other about just about anything so we Michelle and I stayed up for awhile joking around about life. It happened to be Eric's birthday that day so we surprised him with two full diapers under their pillows when they went to bed.
Sat. April 2, 2011 we got up early and had breakfast with the halladays and left for San Diego around 9am. We had the dual DVD players for the boys and a stash of Thomas the Train, Little Einsteins, and Dora and Diego videos to help pass the time. Our next stop was in Vegas for lunch. In this picture you can see our boys playing at one of the local playgrounds.

Temperatures were getting higher as we traveled south. We knew that the snow storms were hitting Utah about now so we were thrilled to be in long sleeve tees without jackets or coats and using the A/C in car for the first time this season. We spent a good hour and a half on this stop so the kids could run around and hopefully sleep during the next leg of the trip.

The boys did sleep well and we made it to Barstow where we stopped at Wal-mart for a snack, gas, and a break. We even found an old train caboose to play on. Austin loves trains so that means that Tyler loves trains.We continued to find pleasant weather along our journey.
