We started our great trek to sunny Cali at 3 AM- hoping to have the kids sleep for a while to make the 15 hour trip go by faster. It kind of worked....but neither Ben or I slept very good in the car and that made it a bit hard to stay awake to drive the whole way. We took a pit stop in VIVA LAS VEGAS- I love this place! The girls thought it was soooo cool! We had the pleasure of an extra helper on the trip as well- our niece Hannah came along to help with the kids and a little treat for her too for all the babysitting she helps out with for us:) We only really saw the MGM, The Excalibur, and New York New York (which Jadyn thought was our state capitol building) but this was plenty for the kids to enjoy!
We stopped at the Rainforest Cafe for lunch which I had heard was a pretty neat place. NEAT yes, food good- NO! An extremely overpriced!!! Good thing our waiter was AWESOME! He was even from Twin Falls- crazy!
Table for three???
Along the way we ran into our favorite pirate Capn' Jack!!!
Had to get a little souevenier shopping in...man they look like naturals! YIKES!
Touring the M&M factory...all four floors:)
And we finally made to our destination about 9:00 that night. Our good friend, Aaron played host to our little family for a few days. He has a great little house overlooking the whole San Diego valley. This was the pool in his backyard- big plus for the kids!!
