California













The beach, we love it so much we even suffered a long drive to get to it. But, the drive was so worth because we love the beach so much. We started off around noon on Friday and made all the way to Reno which took for what felt like forever and we weren't even half way there. Reg got to get his gambling in while My mom, Raidyn, me finished eating and went and found the bathrooms. Then, we were off again we got about 90 miles north of Reno and we hit a huge snow storm in a cute town called Susanville California.

We ended up getting stranded here and stayed in this old hotel that they had fixed up. It was nice but I swear it had to be haunted. It was probably built in the 1800's and it was kind of like a scary movie I even asked the hotel clerk if it was haunted and she said that alot of people thought it was to build my suspicion.
We arrived here around 11 or 12 at night. We woke up early to head back onto our journey. This picture is of the front desk it was just like it would be in the old days I could only imagine.
We were on our way in the morning and these were the roads. The mountains we traveled through were very very windy and long but it was so preety and scenic.
Finally, we arrived at Dustys and we were all so happy to be there. Poor Raidyn was so sick of his car seat but he was a trooper the whole ride. Bracken was happy to see his pepper again and I am glad that they are now back together.
We finally made it to the beach even though it was raining the whole time we were there we loved just cause of the ocean! Reggie is like a kid in candy store at the ocean.
Me and Reg.

We drove through the cutest little town. They were even shooting a movie there. We drove out towards the ocean and when we got there we were amazed at how big the wave swere and how close they were to the beach when they broke. This was Raidyns first outing on the beach.
Raidyn,Reg, and me
Reggie and Dusty had a near death experience. At this beach you can see all those rocks well they decided to be daring. The tide was coming in and they decided to jump on rocks while the tide came. Well, instead of the water going back out to the ocean another wave hit and brought more water and the another and another. Dusty got preety much swept off his rock and Reg was standing on his rock that was bigger and tryed to wait it out just when it looked like he was a goner the tide finally receeded just in time for him to jump off and run to shore. I was laughing and my mom was freaking out bue luckily they are both safe Dusty just got soaked.
On our way to San Francisco we took a detour to another beach. Well, this detour ended up being quite the detour the roads were extremely windy and Reggie ended up getting car sick. We had to stop like ten times just so he could throw up.
This was Reggies first airplane ride and he was very nervous, he thought for sure we were going to crash and die. This is Reggie trying to hide his nervousness behind Raidyn. We ended up having a two hour plane delay, so we we sat at the airport for 3-4 hours. We had a ton of fun and I would like thank Dusty and Linzy for putting up with us and letting us stay at there house. It was nice and you better watch out because we are gonne come back when it is warmer. We got back safely for Reggies sake and got home late that Tuesday. We ended up going to Wendover with some friends the next week because Reggie didn't think that he got enough gambling time in Reno.

Well, it was good to have you all here. I have made the drive where Reg threw up multiple times and I have to laugh every time because I can picture poor Reggie needing me to pull over so he could empty his stomach. We are excited to have you all out again. Keep up the posts!!!
