Road Trip



So I've been up to kind of a lot since the last post. First I went on a road trip with my Mom, Sister and her boyfriend Andrew. I was a worl wind of a trip... We started here in Oly right after the huge snowstorm here and right before a even bigger one rolling in, on our way we hit just the leading edge of it going through Portland but once out of there we had no bad weather all the way down to Southern California. We rolled into my big sis Brittany's house around 12:30 am.... yeah a long trip. Slept a little there then we were up early the next morning to hit the rides of the "Happiest Place on Earth" Disneyland!

It was cool, that place is seriously amazing, it's not the rides and how extreme they are, its all the intricate details that is put into every inch of the park. I love to go there to see just what those guy's come up. Not to mention its a engineers paradise, all the roller coasters have to be designed by civil's and not to mention all of the mechanical pieces which go into every part of the park. So we spent all night there and didn't leave until 12:00am.

They Change the Haunted Mansion changes for X-Mas to The Nightmare Before X-mas theme. It was Awesome!

Next! A day of snowboarding at Snow Summit. It was good, pretty crappy weather and not great snow but it was still cool, I got to ride with Andrew who is a pretty killer boarder and it was fun to ride with someone that can push you to get better.

From there we went back to my birth place in Apple Valley, CA. Oh yeah!! Unfortunetly it was dark and we couldn't see much but there was really not much to see out there. But it was good to see family again, a lot of those people I have not seen in years it was good to see all of them, many of my cousins having their own kids and families.... weird. But they are all doing well and are all doing well which is good to see. Ok ready back in the car and off to Sin City... Las Vegas!

We Stayed in The Palms Hotel which was really really cool, it was the first time I had every really been to vegas and... well I wasn't so luck I never really won any money.. oh well I got the experiance. We also got to have breakfast with my grandparents which was really cool I haven't seen them in a while and it was good to see they were doing well.

The trip home was really interesting. From Vegas we made it to Redding before the snow hit and we turned back and we went back to town and spent X-Mas night in a hotel room. After some sleep we started early in the morning and under blue skies we made it all the way home.

It was a one heck of a trip super quick but action packed and really fun to spend some time with the Fam. Well that was long enough for now I will fill you in on the rest of the break another time and get some pictures going on here soon.
