We survived our road trip from Allentown to Long Beach Ca. It actually wasn't too bad--but that was because Owen's Mom was the nanny in the back and met ALL of my children's needs. She had a little Mary Poppins bag with lots of fun things for the kids to keep them occupied. We could have never made it without her. We had several stops which helped break up the trip too. We enjoyed the sites in Nauvoo for a day --we have never been there before. We did have a tire blow out in North Platte, Nebraska. Luckily, it was right by the exit so we were able to get off and take care of it rather quickly, otherwise, I think it would have been a big nightmare. Nebraska and Wyoming seemed like they were never going to end, but we finally arrived in Provo,Utah on the 4th of July around 3 am and were up bright and early to enjoy the festivities--but had a rather large nap that afternoon. After spending a few days in Utah, we drove to Vegas to meet the moving truck and unload our damaged belongings--(yes it must have been a rocky drive) and put them in storage. Why are we in California and not in Vegas? Because of last minute changes in plans, and Owen being accepted to Pedo school at UNLV for 2009, we've decided to move to Vegas now rather than having to relocate again next year. Since we were originally going to California, that is where Owen has a license to practice at. So until we can get a license in Nevada, we will live with his parents and probably go crazy while doing it. Hopefully we can get that license before school starts for the kids.
Drew watched several episodes of Charlie and Lola on the way.
