On the way home we had a little more anxiety about how it would go...or maybe we were dreading it...so we eventually decided that we would go the long way home. I know, does not seem that smart, but the "long" way is about an hour and a half more time, BUT its along the coast, allowing us more choices to stop....the beach! (The other way is so incredibly boring) We thought we could stop in Santa Barbara to play at the beach, and then again in Pismo Beach where Aunt Winnie lives. She met us down at the beach, and we had a nice time with her. She brought the boys treats and suckers...so they had all they needed, candy and sand!
The drive home was totally fine too! The boys took naps, and the DVD player saved our lives. BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE. Poor Austin is such a typical second child...LOVES to watch TV ;) We made it home with time to spare, unpacked the car in record time, got the kids bathed and in bed, and ordered ourselves a big pizza with some beer...MUCH needed after the long day!
We are also so thankful for our mini-van. I love it, and love having it all the time...but for trips especially. It was so nice and comfortable...made the trip so much better. We are looking forward to lots of trips to SoCal in the future.
