Day 1-Travel Day

Our first day of our trip was a travel day. We decided it would be so much easier to take a day to travel to California so we wouldn’t be rushed the day we were to set sail. We would be able to stop whenever we needed to. We found out the night before that Rob’s flight from Chicago was delayed and he would miss his connecting flight to St. George. After carefully weighing all of his options, he decided to rent a car in Salt Lake and drive home, which gave him a 4:00 am arrival. Fortunately, he is used to functioning on very little sleep.

Annoying Big Brother

The excitement of going on this trip (Trenton) and the chore of packing (Emily) kept some of us awake the night before and crankiness ensued among family members when Ryker didn’t get his way and screamed at everyone while traveling.

Hanging out at Buffalo Bills

We stopped at Buffalo Bills in Primm in hopes the Desperado roller coaster was open. Sadly, it was not. Trenton has been wanting to go on it forever!! It just never seems to be running when we are there. We had lunch at McDonalds and Panda Express then headed on our way.

     After some grueling traffic and scary freeway interchanges, we made it to our hotel. When we travel to see family up north, we stay at Staybridge Suites and the boys really like it. So, we found a Staybridge 15 miles from the pier and it was just what we hoped. Robert grabbed Little Caesar’s for dinner and we were done for the night! Fortunately these no nap days help us get Ryker to bed easily!

Until next time...
