Blink....

I had told the G-man that we should cherish every moment of the road trip because we would blink and it would be over! Well, despite the two of us trying to keep our eyes wide open we must have blinked...we are on the road back to Texas!
The day after Disney most of us slept in and then stayed in a coma like trance for the morning. Eventually we put our bathing suits on, loaded beach towels, toys, kids, coolers and off to Malibu we headed! G-man took surfing lessons from the Dave man, Dani had the biggest wipe out she ever had and the rest of us did the usual beach stuff. Afterwoods we picked up cupcakes and then hit this amazing seafood dive right off the beach.







Yesterday we took the car in to have the oil changed and fluids topped off and discovered that the ol' Subaru needed a bit more love....new brakes, wheel alignment (who's been driving this thing anyway?), and tire rotation. So our plans of splitting LA around noon turned into splitting LA at the more convenient time of 5 pm! Thankfully, our bellys were full of yummy goodness from the Gridle Cafe...another LA exclusive where the crazy choices of pancakes were bigger than your Garrett's head!



The kids and I drove until about 9:30 last night all the while missing our awesome LA friends. My plans of camping were foiled by the 103 degree temps...I am not kidding! We stayed in Needles last night and it was 103 when we pulled in...here is today's forecast...
"Abundant sunshine. High 109F. Winds S at 10 to 20 mph."
The drive was pretty amazing though. The Mojave is huge and you drive for miles and miles and miles and see nothing. We are off for today's adventure as we move closer to home.
