We started our trip bright and early Friday morning, around 6:00 am. We really wanted to get going so that we could spend as much time as possible with family. It is also nice to start driving while the sun is still raising and there isn't as much traffic. 
We picked up breakfast in Wendover and then continued on until Battle Mountain where we got gas, and all used the bathroom. Then we drove to the Reno Costco. We got some lunch there and walked around looking for treasures before checking out and then getting gas.
Then we hit the road and drove straight to Julie's house. We had a few things to give her for her birthday from us and my parents, which she was so excited about (chocolate and bottled apricots and tomatoes).
She showed us around her yard and garden that they've been working so hard on. It is looking so good; they are so close to having the yard they've been dreaming of.
Julie and I then went to Walmart and Sam's Club to pick up the food needed for the lunch after Averee's Fairwell talk. It was fun shopping together and having fun. Tony picked up the kid's pizza for dinner and then the adults were going to go out to eat after the shopping was done. Turned out that too much stuff needed to be done, so we decided to stay and help them get their back yard all cleaned up for the lunch.
After we were done cleaning up, we left to go to Wendy's house. Wendy was in Spain and the boys were with Gabe, so we had her house to ourselves (and her doggies). We stopped at Taco Tree on the way to Wendy's for Tony and I to get some dinner. It was good. We got all unpacked at Wendy's and we got the kids showered and we then relaxed for a while, played with the dogs, and then all went to bed. It was a long day of driving, but totally worth it to be with our family.
