Our Trip To California January 8th thru the 17th 2010

We have been talking about this trip since September so when it finally was here we were all excited, so here was a timeline from our trip,
Friday- We picked Braden up from school at lunch time, met Jocelyn at Taco Bandidto to deliver Gracie, turned on the gps and hit the rode, oh yea we drove it was pretty fun actually! We went thru Jackpot and drove all the way to Vegas that night, we did'nt researve hotels except at Disney so we could be flexible with traveling, we stayed in the Tahiti Village, it happened to be dang nice 2 flat screens, lazy river ect thanks Jocelyn for helping us get a sweet room, for cheap!
The kids loved driving down the strip they were amazed as was I, it had been 14 years since I had been there, we ate dinner and fell asleep!
Saturday- We got up early had breakfast and hit the rode it was only 4 and a half hours to Anaheim, we checked into our fun hotel across from Disneyland called Camelott Inn, it was so nice to be across form the rode. Race time the race just happened to be at the Angel's Stadiam just a few minutes from the hotel!
Sunday- Our first day at Disney it stayed open till 11 pm so we had a fun filled first day
Monday- Our second day at Disney, it was'nt vey busy so it was nice
Tuesday- A day with Shamu, it was about an hour and 45 minutes to Seaworld, we got to see the Sandiego Temple and lot's of other cool things on the drive
Wednesday- our last day at Disney, hardly no one there, we could stay on rides twice and not wait at all, it was great!
Thursay- A day at the beach and some shopping at Down Town Disney, we had to check out of our hotel so we found another one in Anaheim
Friday-We got up and headed for Vegas, we stopped at the outlets along the way no real good deals but it was fun looking! We stayed at Tahiti Village again and drove the strip one more time to check out the lights!
Saturday- We got up and headed out we knew we were'nt going to drive the whole way but did'nt know where we were going to stop, Jeff came up with the idea of going to Hoover Dam,
it was only about 30 minutes away and he really wanted to go so we decided why not, we then drove to Nephi Utah, we stopped at the St. George Temple and Jeff showed us where he goes motorbiking when he goes down there!
Sunday- We drove form Nephi to home, but not before going to get our little Gracie who we missed so much from my parents house, Brittney and Stezon went to Boise so they were able to bring her home, thanks guys!
So that's our trip in a nutshell watch for all the pics to come it may take a while!
