California Dreaming: LA to Williams Ca./ Williams to Eugene Or. / Eugene to HOME!



Friday morning we were awake nice and early. (Thanks boy!) I did a load of laundry, we packed up, and hit the road. The first night we made it to Williams, California. We stayed in a Quality Inn. There wasn't much in this little town except for maybe some mosquitos. The boy and I went for a swim, we had some Chinese food and we hit the sack. The internet at this hotel was one device at a time. So annoying! 

Walmart parking lot chill - Yreka... dad left a car here once? 

low riding pants. 
Swim time! 






Noodle face.
The next day we were up even earlier and we made it to Eugene, Oregon. We stayed in a Super 8 and Jonny got us a pizza.









Hot air balloons all over the place - taking off from every field. 
And our last day driving we made it home. We stopped at Walmart and got a high chair for the boy. The outlets were so crazy you couldn't even park - so Jonny just ran in to get a hat - and I double parked. It was horrid. I hated every minute of that place and I was only in the parking lot. It just looked like hell. Anywho - Walmart and home! There was hardly any wait at the border. (We paid our dues on the way down!) We got home, unpacked, I washed the car, and then we tried to go for sushi but the boy wasn't going to sit. So, we got some salad rolls and got home and crashed! DONE! Home sweet home. Although Jonny doesn't like home at all anymore. He loves LA. I didn't like LA traffic and I like home. It is easy to be home when you know you have two more exciting adventures coming up! 

Another squirm stop. 

And skate stop. 




High chair in the stroller?? 
Baby in the shopping cart? 
New clothes! (For the boy) 

Family resemblance. 



Car clean and back in its spot. Home sweet home. 
I don't think she is going to make it. We miss Ian to water the plants!! 
First night back in his own bed!! So good for everyone!! 
Skate spot? For next time.. good place to stop. 
The end! Teee he he he!

Vegas Annibirthversry Days: May 16 - 20, 2013 - The Boy's First Flight

My birthday started on Wednesday when we were still in Vancouver. Jonny, Christian, and I went for a walk and chill. Jonathon got his hairs trimmed up and we sat at a couple of different city spots and enjoyed the different flavours and views. Somewhere along our travels we lost Sophie the giraffe and wish her well in her new life. I envision her with a cute little puppy squeaking happily. Christian's new favourite things to put in his mouth are water bottles.... and... Gatorade bottles...  At one of our chill spots Jonny gave me my birthday presents... I scored! I also won ten bucks on crossword scratch and wins. It was a great day that started with swimming and ended with beers with G in Gastown. None of it was planned it just was one of those nice sunny I am leaving for Vegas on my birthday tomorrow days.  The next morning came too soon. A hang over is never fun and it is even less fun with a baby that wakes up and is ready to go and is smiling at you an...

Is that a leaf blower?

I was walking back from the beach and there was a man in the parking lot fiddling around with what looked like a hand made leaf blower. I was staring at it and then looking around for leaves but I couldn’t see any. Hmmm.. I went to my room and was reading my book and I heard this loud noise. This must be the weed wacker.. what.. you know what I mean! THEN, the smell and fog hit me. I am outta here. I know what this is. This for the nyamuks! (mosquitos!) I went away and ran some errands and came back to a dengue/malaria free zone. I guess this is a good thing… but now that I see, hear, and smell how it is done I also question how safe was that fog that I breathed in? Wave report: The waves are still small! I don’t mind too much. I know that it will be huge on Sunday and then they will be too big! Run report: I went for a quick 3km tempo this morning. I was listening to the Roots – How I Got Over – the whole time. That is all I have been listening too since it came out and it is help...
