Road Trip

Last weekend me and Amy took a spur of the moment road trip and traveled across the country. Well, with three kids in the car we made it as far as Denver. Pretty good if you ask me. Steven just moved there a few weeks ago and we wanted to go visit him. They were here during the 4th of July and wanted to take Blake back with them to play with Miles. This worked out great because it gave us an excuse to go out and see them. We made the decision to go on Tuesday and on Friday we loaded up the car with snacks, goodies, pop, movies for the kids and a tabloid magazine (so we could read all about Jennifer Aniston when we got bored) for us and we were off!



It was such a fun trip! We took I-80 to get out there and drove through the mountains. It was so pretty. We had to take a few more rest stops along the way then I thought we would which made the car time longer but even that wasn't too bad. The kids were pretty good about being in the car that long. (I just won't mention the fact that on the way home Ali decided to get sick and threw up and Blake had diarrhea and had to stop every 20 minutes.)

We got there on Friday night, went into the city and toured around on Saturday and drove home Sunday. On our down time we rocked out to Guitar Hero. Steven is SO good at it and he totally got me hooked. I was pretty proud of myself that by the time we left I ended up getting 5 stars on a medium song!



Denver is such a fun place. Me, Amy, and Katie left the two girls with Steven and went into the city with the three boys to do some shopping. We went and saw the Denver Temple, ate lunch at a cute little sandwich shop, and then hit the stores. My big purchase....New flip flops! (I'm such a big spender) I put them on right then and walked over to the nearest garbage can and threw away the old ones I was wearing. That felt so good!

Aren't they cute?


I had such a fun trip! Thanks so much Steven and Katie for letting us come and thanks so much Amy for taking me with you!
