California 2010

We recently took a trip to Reno Nevada and San Jose California! We saw my Uncle Mike and Aunt Lorraine in Reno then went on to San Jose to see Jasmine's sister Tina and her family! It was a lot of fun. Eli did very well on the drive, we were both very proud of him! The drive there was very smooth, weather was decent, and roads were clear! Once we got to San Jose, we had a week to explore. We went to the beach, Childrens Discovery Museum, Happy Hollow Zoo, and Monterey Bay Aquariaum. Eli had a blast while we were there, he slept so good at nights because he was so tired from all the activites that we did during the day. When we werent out and about we were in the apartment where Eli could play with his Cousins, Imogene and Liz. They had so much fun together and it was nice to watch Eli play with family and be able to bond with them so well. Eli would give everyone cuddles and loves every night before bed!

On the way home was a completely different story than on the way there. The weather was horriable, raining, snowing, and windy, from San Jose to Reno (4 Hours) I think that we went through at least 3 snowstorms and who knows how many rain storms. There was even 1 snow storm that we went through that we HAD to get chains for our tires. It was ridicolous, I had to stand out in the snow and 20 degree weather for 2 hours, then waited another hour in the store before someone could put the chains on our tires. Once we left there, the sun came out and it stopped snowing and we only needed them for 15 miles. AND WE HAD TO PAY $90 for the STUPID chains. (So if anyone that reads this needs some chains let us know!!!)

The rest of the drive wasnt too bad, a few minor storms and rain but nothing major. But it was nice to be home finally. We all had fun, but its so nice once you get back to your home so you can relax. I will get pictures up as soon as I can!

Until next time
