CALIFORNIA MEMORIES: PART 2

On Monday we slept in a bit, ate some breakfast in our room, then showered and loaded up the suburban and headed out around 10 am..we were all excited to be in California!!

we originally passed the welcome to California sign, which I told brandon about 10 minutes before to watch for it, but a semi truck was behind us and he couldn’t pull over in time, but my sweet husband turned around and went back to let me get some pics : )

the drive seamed to take FOR-EV-ER!!! for some reason the drive the previous day did not seem nearly as bad, little man fell asleep for a couple hours which was nice but all of us were getting pretty uncomfortable I snapped this pic when we went thru redding.. and this is where we stopped to eat lunch and oh my goodness it was miserably HOT!!

TEMP IN CALI

Finally around 5 or so that evening we arrived in Vallejo!!!! the kids could see the six flags park from the highway and were excited to go the next morning!…. first thing of course was pool time again!!!

it was pretty chilly, the temp in vallejo was only about 74 degrees and the pool wasn’t heated so bailey and peyton were the only ones that swam and peyton only did for about 15 min, but bailey stayed in for a good 45 min!

after swimming we cleaned up and drive back to fairfield for dinner, I had planned for us to eat at Chick-fil-A because I had heard SO much good reviews, let me just say it was the BEST chicken sandwich I have EVER had!!! actually I had a chicken salad but the kids got chicken nuggets and sandwiches and I ate some of all theirs too, we all loved it! it was a bit spendy for fast food but then again its really good chicken not processed, nasty cheap chicken so it was worth it! I also had the best peach milkshake I have every had as well! I love the food and their values, also love that they close on sundays!
