  • Chicasaw Cultural Center

    28. mai 2024, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

    We spent much of the day at the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Sulphur Oklahoma. We learned a lot about their culture, history, and beliefs. We watched them perform some stomp dances and even got to participate in the snake dance! We also enjoyed trying some deep fried corn, which was super tasty!Les mer

  • Mesa Verde

    1. juni 2024, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F

    We spent time exploring Mesa Verde, learning about the peoples from the past, and how they lived. We made the mistake of not knowing that we needed a special reservation to explore the cliff dwellings, so we’ll have to take another trip someday to see those up close.Les mer

  • Hiking at Mesa Verde

    1. juni 2024, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F

    We also did a 2.5 mile hike at Mesa Verde, which felt much longer because it was hot, and required a lot of climbing as well as squeezing through tight spaces. We got tired, but powered through, and luckily the last 1/3 or so was mostly plateau (thank goodness, as Grace had a nosebleed at that point).Les mer

  • Melted Car 😫😕

    2. juni 2024, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 91 °F

    We were making great time, but unfortunately somewhere on the way to California the exhaust pipe fell off our muffler and proceeded to melt the back corner of our car, which we realized just about in the middle of nowhere. We spent a good 3 hours at a small gas station figuring things out, and ended up having to pay a lot of $$$ to get it towed to the next closest place in California (over 100 miles away, our policy only pays for 15miles of towing). And now our car had a new name - Sir Melts-A-Lot!Les mer

  • Getting the car fixed

    3. juni 2024, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

    Early the next morning, Jon talked to the dealership who said they’d have to fix everything if they started on it (which would take probably a week!) and directed us to a nearby muffler shop. The muffler guys were great. The kids watched part of a movie on the iPad, and in less than an hour we were on our way again with a new exhaust pipe and car in driveable condition (though still melty appearing).Les mer

  • WB Studio Tour

    3. juni 2024, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F

    We were able to still make it to our WB studio tour (we called and changed our time to later in the day), thankfully. We got to see sets from Gilmore Girls, Friends, and Big Bang Theory, among other things. The kids really enjoyed the Harry Potter Section! 20 pictures doesn’t seem to be enough to cover all this, so I’ll probably add more later with more detailed descriptions.Les mer

  • Universal Studios Hollywood

    4. juni 2024, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

    The kids favorite day of our trip (so far) was going to Universal. They all loved the Super Nintendo World, and getting to ride on the Mariokart ride. For once I researched and planned ahead, and we were able to snag a spot at the Toadstool Cafe for lunch. We ended the day with a butterbeer :) again, 20 pictures is not enough, will probably add more as well as more details later.Les mer

  • Sequioa National Park

    5. juni 2024, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

    We took a detour on one of our travel days to take a look at the Sequoias, which I’ve always wanted to see. Unfortunately we didn’t have a whole lot of time to spend there, and Caleb got a nosebleed this time. Regardless, they were really cool and big trees, and I might want to visit again in the future if I can!Les mer

  • Winchester Mystery House

    6. juni 2024, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 82 °F

    We spent the morning at the house of a very eccentric and very rich lady of the past, the Winchester Mystery House. It has 160 rooms, 2000 doors (many which lead to nowhere, or to large drops), and 20,000 windows. She kept building on to it until she died in order to avoid the spirits of those killed by Winchester guns (which her family made), at the advice of her fortune teller.Les mer
