On the Road Again

We enjoyed sleeping in a little bit on Saturday.  We got up, ate some breakfast and then packed up the car.  It was suppose to be another hot one there so we were glad to go somewhere a little less hot (St. George).
My ear and head were still really hurting, so I was really glad to get going.  I figured once we got to St. George I would go to an InstaCare and get my ear checked and see if I needed more/different drugs to help it feel better.  The 800 ml IB Profin I was taking wasn't even touching the pain.  I just couldn't believe how painful an ear infection is.
We made pretty good time.  We stopped and ate some lunch and Del Taco and then headed back on the road.  Josh threw up after eating some crackers.  He wasn't sick and didn't do it again (thankfully) so it was kind of random.  Luckily I had some extra clothes for him to wear.
We got into St. George about 5:00 pm (we lost an hour) and Tony dropped me off at the InstaCare.  The RNP told me I had a pretty bad ear infection and gave me an oral antibiotic to go with my ear drops and some pain meds to help with the pain.  After seeing her I walked to the Harmon's and filled my prescription.  Tony came and got me then we got the boys from Nana and Papa's place and headed to check into the hotel.  We picked up a pizza for dinner and checked it.
We enjoyed a very low key (yet painful for me) evening.  We got the boys sleeping and then we watched the BYU vs U of U football game.  I only stayed up for half of it, but BYU lost.  Megan kind of struggled, but that was pretty much her sleeping the whole trip.
When we woke up I felt like death.  I had taken two of the pain pills at about 4:00 am when Megan woke up to eat and those pain pills were making me feel so sick.  I was dizzy and light headed and nauseated.  I told Tony that I didn't think that I could do church that day.  So Tony got us a late check out and we just met Tony's mom at his grandparents house after their church.  We ate some lunch (I didn't feel like eating) and then headed on our way home. 
We were all just ready to be home.  The weather was nice and clear and everyone did pretty good on the drive home.  We pulled into our drive way a little after 5:00 pm and unpacked all our crap out of Margie's car and dumped it in the house.  Then we all just enjoyed being home and in cooler weather.
We all had such a great trip (even with Megan and I getting sick).  A big Thank You to Margie for planning everything and taking such great care of us and to Lloyd for working so hard to fund such amazing memories for all of us to have.  LOVE to go and LOVE to come home.  Tyler is already talking about going to Disneyland again and the beach...they sure loved those places.
