California Trip April 2013

I Already posted about my race down in California, but I just wanted to add a few pictures of the trip I made down there.  I Left on a Wednesday morning at about 9 am and didn't get in until 8 pm PST. So it ended up taking me 12 hours to get there.  We stopped 6 times on the way down.  It was quit the experience and adventure driving down with 3 kids all on my own.  Hence the reason Callie and Conrad are both covered in marker.

Clint's parents watched the kids while I was doing my race and I am extremely grateful to them for their help.  I came back and Conrad was calling the puppies by name and was going down the slide by himself. and swinging on the big kid swings too.  He grew up too much in the 2 days I was gone.

The drive home was another 12 hour trip.  To top it off...it was my birthday. But I guess what a better way to spend my birthday than in a car for 12 hours with my adorable kids...right?

The only request the kids had was to go to the beach and play with cousins.  Well we got to do that.  The drive really wasn't that bad...it was long, but it was fun! I now know I can make that drive on my own and might have to do it again...well maybe not for a while though!
