It's been a while since my last post about the move, but there is still more to our trip here. After leaving Boulder, our next stop was Las Vegas. We took two days to drive there and drove through a pretty remote stretch of Utah where there were no service stations for 100 miles. We spent the night in Salina, Utah (a really small town) where we ate at a local diner. The food wasn't great, but they did have really good scones. Avalon enjoyed it because the waitress gave her an Avalon sized ice cream cone.
That night at the hotel was pretty funny. Avalon was pretty hyper from the sugar and she had lots of fun playing with Daddy.
The next day, we stopped at a local park in Cedar City, Utah where we went on a beautiful walk and Avalon enjoying playing at the park.
In Las Vegas, we visited Kristi and Jim (Lisa Hinsz's older sister). We stayed for two nights and enjoyed some excellent pizza and tirmisu. Jarad and I also went to see Le Reve at the Wynn and it was amazing!! Thanks again to Kristi and Jim for babysitting Avalon for us that night.
Avalon had fun playing with Kristi.
We made a make shift bed for Avalon, which worked pretty well.
Our next stop was in Joshua Tree, CA to visit Camille's aunt Audrey.
We spent a day exploring Joshua Tree National Park, which was beautiful!
Avalon enjoying walking around and playing with the benches and rocks.
Avalon had lots of fun exploring at Audrey's place as she had tons of stuff for Avalon to get into.
After staying two nights in Joshua Tree, we stopped at IKEA to do some shopping. Too bad we didn't have more room in our car. Avalon loved the swedish meatballs.
We spent our last night in a hotel in Carpinteria,CA (about 20 miles from Goleta) before arriving at our apartment the next day. Avalon had a great time swimming in the pool that night.
I starting this post with a picture of Avalon riding in the car and I wanted to end this post the same way. This is a picture of Avalon sleeping in the car with her favorite giraffe. Amidst all the fun things we did on our trip, Avalon did spend many hours in the car.
