ROAD TRIP

Ok for those of you who know me. Know I love road trips with no kids.
Well I got to do one this year. Just me and Gene and the big open road. Well between Springville and Victorville CA. We had to take a piece of equipment down to Victorville Ca. I am game. So after unsuccessfully trying to get Gene to take the kids with us and make a family trip and hit Disneyland, while we where only 1 1/2 hours away from their.
I send my kids of to different family members and babysitters and of we go.

Well fortunately for me we are pulling a trailer so for me that means I can't drive. (can you see the tears?) So this is how the big open road looked to me both going and coming.




It was awesome.



Unfortunately for Gene this is what it looked like for him. HAPPY DAY.
So we drive to Primm Valley Nevada, on Sun. To stay the first night. It was great no kids and an outlet shopping mall all to boot. I mean what girl would be sad.
Then on to Victorville on Monday. Mind you as we are finding this guys shop where we have to leave the equipment, I am scooping things out. (I was told to plan on being at his shop for like 2-3 hours. )
I don't see much but a Target, Walmart, Sears. Not much but better than hanging out at some guys shop and watching them talk shop.
Well when I went out to tell Gene I was leaving the guy said oh we are done so of we go back to Vegas baby. And this time no kids. (see earlier post)

We had a great dinner at the Mirage it was so yummy. Love Vegas cause we where so not dressed to be at this fancy of place but when you are on the strip who cares right.

Then my husband took me to see Blue Man Group. Loved it, loved it. It was great and yes we had to be the cheesy people who after have to have their picture taken with the BLUE MEN.


Crappy shot but awesome show.



While we where in Vegas we had to stop and see this cute little thing. This is Gene's cousin Emily and Madison. She was born around the 4th of July. So stinking cute.


It was a good visit with them and I got my baby fix for a while so I am good.
Then we hit the road home and it was back to me sleeping.


Yes I took my blanket Gene freezes me out so it is just easier to take blankets and pillows then try to fight over the thermostat.
Well that is our 3 day road trip.
I saw a lot of the back of my eyelids which was really needed for me.
Gene saw a lot of miles pass by.
My kids where home playing with cousins and friends could life get any better than that.
Thanks to my in laws, my parents, my sister and my niece. Cause I wouldn't have been able to go without you guys watching my kids.
Disclaimer. Sorry Katie we didn't get to see you. Next time I promise I am taking you up on that empty room idea when my kids are with me.
