To start our trip we drove to Vegas to spend 2 nights with my brother and his wife. H took only a short nap and from cedar city to Vegas practically screamed and cried the whole way. The only way to get him to stop was to put food in his mouth. I think I ended up giving him 6 sour punch straws (talk about desperate) It was such a good idea to break up the drive because I was already pulling my hair out before we got to Vegas. I'm so glad my brother lives in Vegas and was willing to lodge us for a bit. H just truly hates the car! Well in Vegas H got to play with his cousins and some other little kiddos and was loving life! He just loves being around other children. He especially enjoyed all the toys his cousins had to play with. (I'm definitely needing more toy options now days) bummer part about Vegas is they are an hour behind. So for us this means 5:30 AM is our rise and shine with H! And when cousins get up for the day he is ready for his nap, thank goodness he took his naps pretty well, but by night time putting him to bed past bedtime made for one grouchy child. He even cried while in his bath. (That's saying something)
My favorite part was that my birthday was spent in Vegas with family I love and family I miss. I got great food at Cheesecake Factory! The day we left we got take out from this amazing Chinese noodle place and let's just say I'm planning to go find an Asian restraunt ASAP! I'm still craving it! Too bad G isn't much of a fan.
The drive to Palm Springs was only 4 hours but H cried for more than half of it! Talk about road trip being NOT fun! We finally arrived and settled into an awesome condo! Full kitchen, washer and dryer, major big bath tub, etc. We practically napped and swam most the days away.
We then finished out the trip by driving down to Huntington Beach. First stop was the Beach!
We went to our gender ultra sound, chilled at our hotel, did some shopping and then went to the family BBQ dinner. The pre wedding dinner. It was great burgers but most of all great company. So fun to see aunts, uncles, and cousins that I haven't in a few years.
After that it was the bachelorette party for my cousin! Talk about partay!! We went to DAve and Busters an then went to my uncles house for the "fake" strippers. All in all it was hilarious to watch my cousin get super embarrassed! My sister and cousin sure know how to throw a party.
I got home late to the hotel where G and H were sleeping. So so tired, but H woke up 4 times.. Ah!! Teething is the worst!
Wedding day came and yes I was tired. The sealing was so beautiful though.
It finally came time for the reception. It was worth the wait! It was so nicely decorated and the food and entertainment was fabulous! It really was a feast!
G looks so handsome in his bib!
After a little bit of dancing it was due time to head out and start the drive back home. The drive was supposed to be about 9.5 hours and turned into 12 hours! Worst accident ever just an hour into our trip kept us bumper to bumper way too long. I was so tired as the first driver that I had to switch Greg in Vegas and it was already 3am. I was planning to be in cedar by then. Thankfully he got a few hours of sleep and I a few and we finished the last 2 awake together. It was so difficult driving tired but H slept the whole time and the little bit he was awake at the end was super cute and happy.
Needless to say once we got home it was a day full of family naps and taking turns napping.
Such a fun trip but I feel so thankful to be home!
