So Thursday i woke up at 6:30 am and started getting things ready and start doing laundry so we would have clean clothes for the trip. Lets fast forward throughout the day.... Did laundry, packed, etc... Well Dave gets DJ to sleep around 9:15pm and we finish up all the little packing. Well around 11pm guess who comes out of the room.... DJ he woke up at 11 pm and didn't want to go back to sleep. We tried to have him lay with Dave in the bed so he would fall back asleep but no luck....
So Dave layed down so he could get a few hours of sleep, well he only slept for about 1 hour because i needed help. So he was up while i was getting the rest of the odds and ends together. Finally around 2am i start making coffee so we can wake up... let me remind you i have been up since 6:30am Thursday. We pack everything up and get on the road around 2:30-45am.
DJ finally passed out around 3am and I cant sleep while in the car. It just freaks me out... The trip was very long because Dave and I were so tired. We stopped at almost every rest stop so we could stand out in the cold freezing wind and wake up!
We get to Kettelman City & highway46 and DJ starts waking up. Its about 7am and i am so damn tired! Dave took the 5 hour energy shots and it lasted a few hours. When the sun started to shine i was waking up more. We were right next to the Madonna Inn and DJ decides to get car sick. I was trying to clean him up and get all the puke off of him and he does it again. Finally i just left him like that, since we were only about 15 minutes from the In laws house.
We finally arrive to our destination... The kids are sick of there car seats and want OUT! We give hugs and unload all our bags. I take DJ out to the back yard so he can run around and stretch his legs.
We relax most of the day and color Easter eggs. We then went to McLintocks for dinner. It is a really neat restaurant. DJ fell asleep on the way there and slept in the high chair almost the whole time we were there. It was nice having a somewhat quiet dinner :) but I'm surprised as to how he slept through all the noise. We get back to the house and DJ wants to help water the flowers in the back yard, he had fun!
DJ and Reagan were both acting up and getting into everything. DJ was not listening for anything, I was getting so frustrated! He finally goes down at 9:30pm and I pass out around the same time... So lets calculate - I was up from 6:30am Thursday till 9:30pm Friday... That equals one tired mommy!
Saturday was a fun day! We went to Pismo Beach and took the kids to the water. We stayed there for a few minutes then left to go to the Pier and eat lunch.
We get to the Pier and eat lunch then the In laws go home so George can rest and Dorothy can start the Turkey Dinner. The kids had a blast at the ocean. DJ was running all around and Reagan was trying to eat all of the sand... I got pretty burnt while we were there. There was a slight breeze and the kids started to get cold, so we packed up and walked around to all the shops. I was so surprised that DJ fell asleep before Reagan did.
After the Ocean and Shopping we go home. We have a Turkey Dinner and get the kids in the bath. This was the first time Reagan sat in the bath w/o her bath seat. She kept slipping and sliding. So we get the kids down and pass out.
Sunday was Easter Egg Hunt and Leaving day.... Dave and I hid all the Easter eggs in the back yard and DJ had fun looking for them. He got about 2/3rds done and decided he was going to do something else. But we finally got him to get all of the eggs. After we got done with the egg hunt we packed up and went to brunch...
We start heading home around 1pm and pull into the drive way around 6:30pm. This time it seemed a lot faster and the kids did okay. DJ watched The Backyardigans almost the whole way home.
So that was our weekend.... I'm so glad to be home!
