    Leaving Home

    25 Mayıs 2024, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F

    After much packing, which took the better part of 2 days, we finally made it on the road! Thank goodness for tablets, books on tape, and some pretty views on the drive!

  • Chicasaw Cultural Center

    28 Mayıs 2024, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 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!Okumaya devam et

  • Mesa Verde

    1 Haziran 2024, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 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.Okumaya devam et

  • Hiking at Mesa Verde

    1 Haziran 2024, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 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).Okumaya devam et

  • Melted Car 😫😕

    2 Haziran 2024, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 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!Okumaya devam et

  • Getting the car fixed

    3 Haziran 2024, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 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).Okumaya devam et

  • WB Studio Tour

    3 Haziran 2024, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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.Okumaya devam et

  • Universal Studios Hollywood

    4 Haziran 2024, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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.Okumaya devam et

  • Sequioa National Park

    5 Haziran 2024, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 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!Okumaya devam et

  • Winchester Mystery House

    6 Haziran 2024, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 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.Okumaya devam et

  • Glass Beach

    7 Haziran 2024, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 57 °F

    We spent some time at the Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, which was quite cold, but fun. The kids enjoyed the tide pool in particular, which had warmer water.
