Our very Fun Road Trip to Cort and Laura's Wedding

Danny and I had our very first trip with no baby and I have to say it was REALLY fun!! I forgot that I was a mom half the time and enjoyed hours and hours of freedom. I did miss little Whit a lot but it was really nice to get away!

We decided to drive to California with John and George. We had a great time and I don't think that I have laughed so hard in a long time! They kept me CONSTANTLY entertained and laughing. We had a few stops along the way, the most memorable, Ghost Town (John really wanted to find a "trading post" to buy a flute).


The whole week was a blast! We had such a great time getting to know new people and spending time with our best friends. Thanks Darren and Lacey for letting all of us "shack up" at your place! Cortney and Laura are an amazing and beautiful couple and we feel so lucky to have been able to participate in the amazing celebration! Thanks guys for allowing us to "get" away. We wish you the best of luck as you start your life together!











The boys and the beautiful bride that you can hardly see. Laura looked amazing and had a gorgeous dress!




Ghost Town in Calico California. These handsome guys were in their element here where John purchased a sweet Indian flute and played it for the remainder of the drive. Very relaxing and soothing when you are stuck in rush hour traffic-- in Los Angeles-- totally lost!


One of our many pit stops on the way home.



We were lucky enough to have Scottie on our drive home. We were all crammed into our little car. Poor guys! Yet they didn't complain once, very impressed. We left San Diego at 4 AM Sunday morning and drove all day, we were all a sorry looking bunch by the time we got home! Also- 1 of the many funny little side notes- when we went and picked up the guys, John wasn't feeling so hot from the night before (if you know what I mean) and threw up on the pavement, hopped in the car, and pounded some jalapeno spicy Doritos-- at 4:30 AM. You can imagine the smell. :) Good thing I love these boys!

What a trooper you were with ALL those boys:) It was so fun seeing you guys! You have an adorable and I'm sure very FUN little family. If you and Whitney ever make it over to Draper park you should give me a call (801-706-9183) and we will hop over. Afton would love it! You probably remember but she is kind of a baby monster.

I am so glad that you had so much fun! I am nervous to leave Parker, I keep thinking that I will miss him so much that I won't be able to have fun. The fact that you had so much fun gives me hope!
