What better time to get out of Utah then during January? We wanted to go to Southern California for some time and Scott had the week off and so we decided why not now! We've been to Texas a few time with Ethan, but I think of this as our first official family vacation. I tell people that I have wonderful memories of going on family vacations growing up, but nothing prepared me for being the parent and not the kid. It was definitely memorable, no question.
We decided to drive instead of fly... so that was an adventure all in itself... 4 long days on the road! Ethan did wonderfully... He had his Leapster and his shows to keep him occupied. The only problem he had was his refusal to use public bathrooms. He held it until I finally gave him a pull up... oh the relief of his face. Emma didn't like the car unless she was asleep. She did a lot of crying and whining. I guess that is what we get for taking a 6 month old with us.
Ethan loved the hotels. This was his first introduction to a hotel. He LOVED having his own bed. When we got to St. George the 1st night he jumped for 15 minutes straight... Unfortunately, he had to share his bed with Scott because Emma refused to sleep in the pack and play. She slept with me. Trust me, it was better that way. She got hysterical every time she woke up and found herself in the pack and play so we just gave up.
The next few posts will be focusing on our adventures in SoCal... Sea World, the zoo, and visiting the great grandmas...
