So - we decided (my husband- really)--- to make a trip out to California & visit the sites. I was not too excited about the idea because it was last minute and I did not feel like spending money and adding to our bills, but I was told that I could stay home or go--so I opted to go!
We drove!!!! We always drive to all of our trips. It was quite a long trip-- no stopping- only to go potty and get gas! Lexi was awesome during the drive-- I let her snuggle in the back w me for a few hours until we started to hit icey roads in New Mexico and Arizona. Gia was pretty upset for parts of the ride there. I tried to snuggle in the back with her, but she was too wirey and got upset pretty easily. Rick drove and did a good job--- I slept during most of the night and the boys tried taking turns staying up with him.
As we arrived in California we were stopped by the Guards and asked if we were bringing in fruit-- Ummmmmmmmmm 'No'--little did they know we had a ton of oranges in our suitcases. J/K--- but it is not like they checked our bags. Of course they probably saw our car with the 'topper' and said 'Let's let that car pass!'
California was beautiful! Mountains and hills.
-- I was amazed at the houses on the mountains. After we arrived at our hotel- we unpacked and ordered room service- we had not eaten all day (except for breakfast). After we ate- Rick took a small nap - the boys crashed and I took the girls to look at the hotel. 
After Rick woke up from his catnap- the girls, Rick and I headed out to buy a new double stroller and to look at the sites. After we pulled out of Babies R Us the girls passed out---so we had to look at the sites from our car- which was fine w me- it was cold!
I was amazed at how crowded California was. Did anyone have to work the next day- could all the people have been tourists? We drove down Rodeo and other nearby parts. Lights, lights and more lights. A small movie theatre on almost every corner and lots and lots of people. I loved it!
More to come............
