Our Short Trip To California April 2011



So this was a last minute kind of trip, Will's mom called him and asked him if he can come and help her with some church stuff that was coming up and of course he wanted to go. He's asked me if it was okay that he went to Cali and at the time i was kind of hesitant, not wanting him to go out of state. I finally just told him it was okay to go, he then asked me if he can take our son with him too...and ugh... that is a no, especially if i wasn't going to be there!! i mean...i cant live without my son!! haha...ya...ya...we're kinda attatched...haha Then the idea came up..."why dont we all just go?" and hey why not? lol I was already getting sick of this bi-polar Utah weather. So we planned on all of us going, we were so excited to finally get out of Utah for the first time as a family! :) (I know cheesy, right? ) lol




So we flew on buddy passes, Will and baby left that thursday...and i left the earliest flight out on friday morning :) And i got to tell you that was the longest night of my life haha It was the first time that I haven't had them with me...ever! haha So i was so nervous flying by myself, so nervous! haha I swear i looked hella lost trying to check in, thats what happens when you dont travel a lot! It was funny! So the flight was good, other than i sat by a stinky guy that reeked of booze!! ugh...gave me a headache!! So i land in sunny San Jose, California...sun was blazing... it was beautiful!!! So i called Will and told him to that i have landed (which he should of been already at the airport by now) so i went and got my bag and walked outside to the pick-up...waited a few minutes...called Will again...and he said "I'm here, where are you?" by then i was getting a little irritated because he should have already been waiting there for me. lol I still was waiting and i called him..."where are you?" he then says..."which San Jose Airport are you at? Im thinking, "Are there really two different airports?" You have got to be kidding me?? haha and of course he was at the WRONG one!!! GRRR... haha Man oh man i wanted to kick him in the face when he finally got to pick me up!! bahahaha but i didnt!! haha it was the most quiet ride EVVEERRRR!!!! Will had to break the silence, asking "Are you really not going to talk to me?" haha Although i was so eager to talk to him because i was so happy to be in Cali, feeling like a tourist! haha i couldnt help but laugh!! Also he didnt even bring my Kisi baby! all i wanted to see was him...so excited to see my son!! haha



Here are a few pics i snapped on the way to the apartment...


yeah only in Cali...haha

(Hmm...this is starting to be a really long post haha)

Now we were on our way to Seaside, Ca which took FOREVVERR haha i swear it was an hour and a half drive!! OMG!! haha So we make it to the Apartment, i was so excited to see baby!! its been a whole day since i've seen him! haha i know...i know... so attatched!! haha Well it was pretty chill over there! loved the sun! :) We hung out with the family... Kisi and I got to meet some of Will's family they are all amazing, and such nice people! Wish we could of stayed longer to spend more time with everyone, i know my husband misses it so much out there! Oh ya...and the first thing i wanted when i got there was Jack In The Box :) yeah buddy... and then we enjoyed our food over at the Wharf, loved seeing the ocean <3
Had to have Jack, and dont forget the buttermilk ranch! yum!!


We had stopped by the park Dennis the Menace ( I think thats what its called) lol I heard about this park from Will and them. The kids had fun playing around!













During our time there we went to the beach (hmm..i forgot which one we went to lol) We went with Me, Will, Kisi, Peti, Dante and Nahla...decided to take the kids out of the house, before we all went crazy! haha So Will told me that the water is cold out there..and no joke it was...well at least where we went! lol... people were wearing those whole body suits in the water! crazy! i love the ocean, it brings such a calming feeling!

Here are a some pics from the beach...











Next stop... Monterey Bay Aquarium!



Alright so I was so excited to go here! :) Anyone that knows me I am an animal person and all kinds :) lol... This was so fun! There are so many pictures that we took over here ( so I'll only post a few) The kids had so much fun!! Glad we had a chance to hang out with Peti and the kids before we left back to Utah.
