Our California Adventure - Getting There!

Spring Break 2012 was spent in California!  This will take several posts, so I'll start out with our drive.
Nice things about our drive:
1. The Suburban that we rented was loaded, we had plenty of room and a DVD player!
2. Being all together in the same place at the same time!
3. We drove through 4 states and saw some amazing scenery.
4. Sirius XM radio!  We listened to all of General Conference, and lots of oldies.
  Dad: "Oh, this song is so overplayed!"  It was Foreigner's Double Vision.
  Mom: "It's 2012, it's not overplayed!"
Not so nice things about our drive:
1. It was long.
2. We had to spend the first night in a seedy hotel in Las Vegas.
Ready to head out!  We took Kori's friend Kierstin with us to California because she took Kori with her a couple of months ago.  You'll see her in lots of our pics.


Our hotel was in an old part of town squeezed in between several wedding chapels.  The kids thought  it was hilarious entertainment.  I said "I want to go to the hotel, lock the door and read my scriptures."  Nope, I'm not really a Vegas fan.


























After surviving Vegas, we proceeded to Pomona, California, which was Colton's last area.  He spent nearly half of his mission in Pomona!  We were happy to get out of the car, stretch our legs and see some palm trees!  Plus we had some authentic yummy Mexican food!
Catching some ZZZZZZZ's in the car.


Kori found out that palm trees can be rough and difficult to climb!
