All about the Glenn's: October 2008

P.S. I think we all know that we took this trip in Oct. '08 so don't let the post date scare you, it really is Jan. '09-no need to fret or feel like you need to be checked in to any institution... I am just happy to have this done, it's been sitting in my edit posts for quite some time now... now if I could just finish out the year and wrap that all up, in due time my friends, in due time...

Well the long awaited California post is now at your fingertips! As you can see I put off posting so long because I feel like there is so much to do and post and it ends up taking a few hours. So I have been pushing this off knowing that it will take me a while, but owell. So here is our trip~

We left on Wed. Oct. 1st, Cort got off a little early and we started the long trek around 4:00 pm, we had made plans to stop in Prim NV at good 'ole Whiskey Pete's for a whopping $22. Cort claims we made money on them cause he found a $1 when we got out of the car in the parking lot. It took a while for my night owl Ky to fall asleep, actually what's that? He didn't sleep?! Crazy- well he slept until a little bit before Cedar City to have dinner and then from that point out he was up till after midnight. Bry was knocked out and Ky's eyes were glazed over watching Dora. For only $22 i thought it was a great little casino/place to sleep. We got up the next morning and had a wonderful meal at McDonald's and headed on the road to CA. Here's a picture of me in front of Whiskey Pete's (should have taken it at night with all the wonderful lights, pretty fantastic)

Not the most flattering pic ever taken

Naughty Mommy, but he climbed up and was playing with it!
I had to get a photo!

This is a really cool looking roller coaster, did not partake of though

The pic isn't that great, but trust me it was huge, it went around the whole casino

The drive from Prim to Ocean side was so blasted long and ugly. I had no idea that Cali could be so desert like and ugly. We arived around 1:00 and headed right for the beach. The condo we stayed in was litterally right on the beach. We was so beautiful there, the weather was perfect. The forcast looked like rain and a little cooler a couple of the days and it didn't happen. We went to the beach everyday but Sat. and Mon. Here are some cute shots of us at the beach:

The two boys searching together

My cutie

Bry just loves to pose

I just love catching those candid pictures

Don't you just want to squeeze him?!

Cort dug a hole, Ky was happy...

Still happy

Starting to feel constrained

In this pic, Ky had thrown himself back and was screaming to get out

I want out dangit!!

Bry literally running away from the waves, he had so much fun chasing them, I wish I would have taken a video, it was so cute to watch.

Bry was a bit happier to be buried in the sand

We went to Sea World on Saturday and enjoyed it thoroughly. It definately takes a lot longer to get around with the kiddos than it does with just us. Cort and I had gone 2 times before we had kids and loved it and we thought the kids would love it too- here are a few pics of Sea World

Here are few of my favorite family photos of our trip, we had a few at Disneyland and a few more at the beach before we headed home.

If I don't end the post now, you may have to wait another 5 months to get the end of the story, so here it is folks, a great trip, we absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back some day!
