California Trip - Day 1 & 2

We all got up early Saturday morning and got ready for grandma Margie and Nana to come and get us.  Nana had come up to visit some people and we were going to take her home with us on our way down to California.
We got all our stuff and kids packed into the van and we were off.  The traffic was good and so was the drive down to St. George.

We dropped of Nana, stretched, went potty, and then got back into the car.  We decided to eat lunch in St. George and then we got back on the road.
Josh got car sick and threw up a few times in the car.  He had his throw up cup all ready and was good to get it in his cup each time.  He said he felt ok and was good to keep going, so that was good. Everyone else traveled well.  Allie did good in the car and took a good nap.

The traffic was good until we got closer to LA.  It wasn't too bad though and we got to our hotel in good time.  We unpacked the car and let the kids play in the room.  We decided to pick up some dinner and eat it in our room at the hotel.  Margie and Tony picked up some pizza and pasta from a local place.  It was pretty good and we enjoyed it.  There were leftovers that we enjoyed another night.

The next morning we got up and ate breakfast at the hotel.  After we ate we got ready for church and then headed to the church for sacrament.  It was a nice ward with very few children.  If we had stayed for primary we would have doubled their numbers with our kids.
After church we went and changed our clothes and then went to the swap meet.  We like walking around and seeing all the different things for sale.  We found some sunglasses for the kids, Tony, and Margie.  They all were very excited about them.  I didn't find any that I liked.
After we walked around all the vendors we headed back to the hotel to let Allie take a nap.  She fell asleep in the car but transferred nicely.  While she napped I had the boys start in on their homework.  Tyler had a lot of math to do and Josh had reading for everyday.  They also enjoyed some popcorn while they worked.
After Allie woke up we headed towards Downtown Disney to walk around.  Tyler had said that his feet hurt while walking around the swap meet so we decided to find a Sketchers store and see if we could buy him some better shoes for all the walking we were going to do this week.
It took us longer then expected, but we found the store and got Tyler some nice shoes (and Josh some for when he outgrows his current shoes because is was buy one get one half off).  So after that adventure we went to Downtown Disney.  We got a really good parking spot and had fun looking around.  We went back to the hotel to get a good night sleep before going to Universal Studios the next day.
