Did I mention we DROVE all the way to California?! 18+ hours in the car...and I drove the entire time (by choice--I am not a good passenger)!
Our first stop, 7 hrs in, was In n Out:) SO GOOD!
One of the first places we stopped once we drove into Westchester was the softball fields (and our old house which we didn't get a picture of). Being at the softball fields almost made me cry...we spent so much time there cheering Kya on!!
The snack stand! Tyson got Otter Pops for old time's sake:)
The first hotel we stayed at on our drive down, was great. Although, right after we checked into our rooms, there was a HUGE hail storm...way bigger and harder than anything I had seen before and we were trying to drive to dinner in it! The streets were flooding and I was sure our car was going to be damaged beyond repair. Thankfully it was short-lived and we all survived the ordeal!!
The hotel we stayed at in LA is a story in and of itself...the room didn't have enough beds and only one bathroom, the swimming pool incident on the first night we were there (500 screaming kids), the huge breakfast every morning (including the man with a prison shirt and the lady piling up dozens of plates to take back to her screaming kids), the free snacks and drinks every night, the fish Summer named...
We managed to stop by and visit a few friends
(The Davis Family, The Stayners, and The Jones Family)

We went to a few of our old favorite parks!
Polliwog Park had tons of turtles out basking in the sun...everyone was sunburned and HOT so we didn't stay too long.
We had to go to "Teletubbie" Park!
We even recreated a picture from 2011
Mike took the big kids to Universal Studies...I was sad to miss out but didn't think it was worth an extra $300 for Summer and me to go. From what I heard, it was also a ton of fun!!
What a great trip we had. I hope we don't have to wait another 6 years before we make our way back to the Sunshine State! I miss it already.
