Last Day in California

So, the last day was really just packing up and leaving. Here are a few pictures of the house we stayed in. Honestly, we weren't all that impressed (our least favorite of all the ones we have stayed in). There was not really good cooking equipment (pans, spatulas, spoons, knives, etc) or spices (most places stock basic spices like salt and pepper and spray/oil for pans), none of the bathtubs would plug, the beds were horrible (hard and slanted), and when I pulled the portable crib (they provided) out it was covered in mold...just to name a few. Good thing this was a trip where we were hardly at the house.

We did get to catch a couple General Conference talks before we had to head out.

A game room that was not connected to the house.

Time to say good-bye.






The airport experience was not very good at LAX. We kept being told different places to go and then they made us check our stroller. Ugh!

Hannah wanted to have a backpack like everyone else.

She couldn't stand-up with it on so I had to carry her.





We survived the airplane ride and made it safely back to our car. It didn't take long for the kids to fall asleep.

Wow! What an amazing trip. We had so much fun. Hopefully, the Phillips will want to do another trip with us after this one. We really pushed them. We crammed so much into our stay in California. It was SO worth it all.

How fun to have good friends to trip with. I love the idea of going during "off" season.

Ahh, I loved all the pictures! Too bad Hannah had a rough time but the trip still looks like fun. When we go (hopefully) you and I will have to have an in depth talk.
ps. When did Kailyn grow up? She looks so mature!
