Summer 2015: Roseburg, Dunnigan (will never be Done AGAIN!) and Santa Cruz

 On the road again. Our first stop was Roseburg. We stopped at the first exit at a Super 8 that was overpriced. When we left the next day and drove the next exit had a Ross and more hotels - might be something cheaper and we can look for deals at Ross. 

Our next stop for the night was Dunnigan at the Motel 6 that was also an America's Best Value Inn. Our first two Motel 6's of the trip were very nice and updated. This one wasn't. It was awful and in the middle of Children of the Corn but the corn had just been taken down - so barren farm land. There were large bugs and a wasps nest right outside our door. There was no love or upkeep put into this motel. Again, the next morning we headed on our way and one of the next stops was Vacaville and we saw a carousel and some action at that stop - and many more hotel options. Soon, we will learn the places that we like to stop. We are getting this trip down more and more each year. 
 Rest stop - blowing dandelions. We played with the ball and he fell and scraped his knees so we put on poly, band-aids, and pants.

 41st street is the exit you take to Capitola Mall - don't forget this!!

 Who actually buys these and loves them???

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...

California Toddler Tripping: Vancouver - Langley - Seattle - Seaside

We knew that road tripping with a toddler wasn't going to be always pleasant - but we also knew that it would be way better than being on a plane - at least with our toddler. Christian is one and a half on this trip and just like last year he went through some new changes just to mess with us. Luckily, we are a powerful team and we were able to overcome these challenges … so far!  Our journey started in Vancouver. We stopped at the skate park to drop off used shoes and decks. Some kid is going to be happy. (or bum?)  Next stop: Langley! We had a visit with Grandma and Grandpa. I love this picture :-)  Christian likes Grandpa's cars - watch out!  Next stop: Seattle!  Light rail to the Crab Pot.  The Crab Pot - we made it and we ATE it!  Christian is scoring with the toys on this trip. Now I really understand why I got new toys when my parents took us on road trips!  Sunset Seattle squirm time. ...
