Our California Trip 2008

Ok so it has taken me forever to get going on this. Sorry man its been busy around here. We always take a few pictures of us leaving our house. Ashton had to have several of his friends join on on our trip. On our first bathroom/filling up gas/ eating stop we all got a kick out of all the old cars there. : ) Then back on the road and man what a long long drive my brilliant hubby thought he could make the drive from here to there in all one shot its like 22 or 24 hours of a drive and yes we did it but as you can see from our last bathroom stop i was looking pretty ruff and very very tired and cranky. Ok so first hotel was great we loved it and even had a special entrance to the pool with two chairs and a table its was cute! We usually just hit the beaches there and walk around and drive around. We decided to do the Ships tours and it was awesome we loved it well Lee was a little worried about me in the Submarine.

We stayed there just a couple of days then on our way to the Malibu area. Ok so its a long drive well you know that 2 hour drive that some times takes longer because you just kinda sit there in traffic. Ok so on our ride there Ashton had to go pee and there was no way we could turn off the road we were sitting still. So, Lee says ok just let him pee in a bottle i was like ok but hurry up before traffic moves again. He goes and then later down the road i say i hope we get there soon i really gotta pee bad. Well, Ashton says just pee in a bottle mommy. I say i can't i don't have a dingie (our word for penis) he then says well i sure hope you grow one soon. He is so funny some times!! Sorry no pictures of the peeing! lol

We get to where our hotel is we had reservations at Country in and Suites in Calabasas a nice area i might add. WELL the hotel stinks!! and i mean really stinks!! YUK! smells so bad i almost get sick. So i pee and we say sorry dudes we are so not staying here! well in other words that was Stephanie's word for it. lol We then look all over town well in our areas we love for hotels they are all booked up. We finally end up at a hotel its cost us$300 a night this is with a discount If you know my hubby he does not like hotels with cost like this but he just looks at me and says Happy Birthday! lol We get in the room and he is more excited then the kids because there is a robe in the room. lol I have stayed in the Beverly Hilton before so i was not impressed as much as them. but i have to say it was the nicest hotel i have been in since being with Lee. : )

We had so much fun there Lee and I both want to live out there so much. We drive around a lot looking at stuff. We spent time at the beaches. We love the Santa Monica Pier we have so much fun there. Our new favorite place to eat out there is Dukes its yummy! We met up with some friends from here at the Huntington Beach. Then on our last night we spend it at the Santa Monica pier one last time before heading home. We ate dinner at Marisols (sp) a restaurant at the end of the pier well i had two beers ended up getting burned on my finger buy our waiter. Well i have to say after those two very very big beers i had tons of fun playing darts! i think i killed a couple of poor little teddy bears and waisted like 80 bucks on that game!!

Well i am sure i am missing so much from our trip but my kids are so loud right now i need to get going. Dance class tonight.
