and then a roadtrip

speaking of late nights. after the reception on friday, we stayed up until 6:00am. i had planned to drive with my family to tucson, az to visit my sister for spring break on saturday morning, so i grabbed olive, brushed my teeth and walked out the door.

the 9 days that followed were... memorable.

highlights include:
cove fort
the big rock candy mountain
seeing lake powell for the first time
the peterson's
liam's 1st birthday

saguaro national forest

in-n-out burger
owen's baseball game
guitar hero and a giant diet coke
ikea

mesa temple easter pageant

the grand canyon



less than highlights include:
18 hours in the car
olive barfing all night tuesday-wednesday
tanner barfing all night tuesday
being covered in olive's barf tuesday-wednesday
3 packs of diapers and one serious rash
mom barfing for 4 hours in the ikea bathroom on thursday
booking a hotel in phoenix because she was too sick to drive back to tucson
mom barfing at the hotel in phoenix
a 911 call
5 hunky EMT's
an ambulance ride
a night in the ER in phoenix
an IV, serious pain meds and a discharge
dad getting sick on friday
an extra day sleeping in the hotel in phoenix
18 hours home with a barf bucket...on easter

the moral of the story is:
next time you go to tucson to visit alisa...

BOOK A FLIGHT!
