so thursday morning my mom and I left for Cali! we had to stop in Orem and pick up new retainers and almost got ourselves killed because my mom is retarded and cant drive!
example 1. she can NOT drive in construction
example 2. she tried to drive off the curb instead of finding a real exit to the parking lot
example 3. she can't read "wrong way"..."do not enter" and "one way" signs
example 4. she jumps the curbs in the middle of the roads right in front of the Boomtown Security!
lets just say it has definitely been a interesting trip.
starting off it totally rained on our parade..
it poured down from the airport to almost grantsville. we stopped to get a drink and to go to the bathroom as we were leaving the gas station, we realized the keys were suddenly MIA. i kinda started freaking out then realized that i left them in the bathroom.. we definitley had a rough start and we hadnt even left Utah yet.
we drove to Reno and stayed the night and Boomtown. we had a really yummy really expensive dinner and crashed as soon as we got there. who knew driving to reno in a day was so exhausting!
this morning we woke up and drove the rest of the way to Cali. we never saw a "Welcome to California" sign so we was a little bumbed out.. but when we stopped to go to the bathroom, we got out welcome! there was a lady walking down the street wearing pink shorts a white tank top and really curly hair and she was REALLY getting into her music. it was pretty entertaining!
We finally made it to the general area that we were headed and then ended up getting so very lost looking for the airport. and that was last thing i wanted. was to get lost in cali! we finally found it and made our way back to napa. we drove out to the school and it is even more beautiful right now than it was when we came out in november. everything is in bloom and the vineyards are still alive. its AMAZING out here. and i LOVE it and i dont know if i will even want to come home! we are staying at a hotel and we knew it was ment to be that we stay here because the movie theatre, barnes and noble, and coldstone are right by the hotel! we went to the movie then came back and just ordered room service and had super yummy turkey clubs that came with cute mini condiments!
so far it has been a really good trip. and i cant wait to see what else comes our way!
