Friday I dropped Caty off at my parents as they said they would take her along for the drive! It was so nice having just Hanna in the car with us. She’s a perfect traveler, just looking at books or playing with her Barbie or watching a dvd – no complaints what so ever.
The drive was just over 500 miles – I know, that’s a long way!! My parents left about 45 minutes after us and we thought that they would eventually catch up with us because we figured that we’d need to stop every 2 hours or so, but nope, Hanna was very content. We stopped about 3 hours in the drive, because I was the one that need to use the bathroom and of course it gave us the chance to changed Hanna’s diaper. We got back on the road after just about 10 minutes and were still way ahead of my parents.
We stopped on the north side of the Grapevine for lunch – just before driving over into the LA area. We ordered and sat and waited and to our surprise…this guys walked in.
How cool to see Jay Leno eating at In N Out!!
My parents caught up to us as we were just finishing lunch. Caty said she wanted to keep riding with them so we headed back out. We stopped for a quick break in Irvine and got back on the road. We arrived at my brothers around 5ish. Not too bad – it was 10 hours since we’d left the house but with our 3 stops and of course getting suck in LA traffic.
The cousins, back together again.

After the jammies were on we headed over to the house we were staying at. My sister-in-law’s parents recently bought a house about 6 blocks from them so we were able to stay there, as they weren’t around.
We got situated and the girls headed to bed, no knowing what was in store for the next day….
