Mini Road Trip

Me &Bear took a mini road trip. We left Thursday to Missouri to go and see my sister. Thursday was not the best plane trip I have ever had. On our first plane going to Utah we had really bad turbulence and my stomach did not like that AT ALL! It was the worst. At times it felt like the plane was falling and that really freaked me out. Right at that moment I was warning Bear that he needed to find me something quick because something was going to happen. I was so glad that we brought our own plastic bags because the plane did not have any of those bags for people that get sick. And we still had to go on one more plane because we had a layover and I was not looking forward to the ride at all because I didn't want to get sick again...And luckily on that the last flight I didn't get sick at all. So I was happy about that. I don't think I want to be taking any trips that require going on a plane for a while, I would rather drive.

We finally made it to Missouri at about 6pm and headed to my sisters house. And then we left at about 8:30 and made our way back to Arizona. She is visiting for a LONG time so we drove her car back. It took us about 25 hours to drive back. We stopped in Colorado to sleep for a few hours and look around the beautiful state. We drove through Colorado because that is the one place where we would love to move to if we were able to move out of Arizona. Its so pretty there and it was snowing like crazy. We visited some sites there and then drove the rest of the way to Arizona. Although we had to drive for 25 hours it was a really fun road trip and Iam happy that my sister is here :)

Us at the mall.....We had to make at least one stop:)

Isn't Colorado Beautiful!

Vacation!

We just got back from a 4 day trip to Cali! It was a lot of fun and it was a good break from work and Arizona! The main reason for this trip was my younger brother! We took him to go see a friend knowing that it would be cheaper then him going all by himself! I wasn't really looking forward to it but it turned out to be a lot fun! I love vacations because that is when Bear doesn't really mind us going shopping :] Now we didn't go overboard but I was able to get a couple of new shirts without him getting a little upset with me about spending money!

We left at around 2am on Thursday and didn't get there until like 4pm! It was a longer drive then I thought but it was a fun drive! We went to Marine World on Friday and it was the perfect day! The wind was perfect and the weather was in the 70s! This six flaggs had elephants, and sea lions, penguins, sharks, whales, and dolphins! It was so awesome to see all those animals in real life and not on camera! It gave me a different likening to them and just how amazing they are!


On Saturday we visited San Fran and that was interesting! All I can say is that I love living in Arizona and that I can handle the traffic here! We went to Union Square and it was fun too see but I could never live there! There were herds and herds of people and let me say that some of them were kind of scary.... We went into this mall and it was HUGE! It was 8 stories high full of stores! I wasn't able to shop there because we were on a time limit due to the parking meter but it was fun just walking around and seeing everything!


And then on Sunday we made our way back home to Arizona! I started the drive out and it was fun! It was really windy so it was kind of a jerky ride but other than that it was fun! I have never driven in any other state than Arizona so I wanted to! Its not a big deal or anything but to me it was! While we were driving into Santa Clarita we saw a HUGE fire! We first saw a small patch of red smoke and then after about an hour the whole sky was covered with black and red smoke! I have never seen a fire so huge in my life in person and seen the effects of it.



So our trip was full of fun and interesting things to do! It was fun being with Bear and knowing that he didnt have to work and that we were able to spend time together! And it was fun spending time with my brother and sister! But being in a car for 12 cars can make you crazy and somewhat irretiable :]


These are some pics of us on the way home!


And here are some just random fun pics from our trip!
