Here we are in Santa Barbara!! We were so excited to go visit with Aaron's family. We hadn't been there in a year and a half! We started our journey on Friday afternoon at about 5:00 pm. Many people told us how crazy we were for driving with a 2 1/2 year old and 3 month old. We left our house with a movie on for Lilly and Molly freshly fed and drove as far as we could possibly go. We stopped for dinner, fed the girls and kept on going. Our drive was awesome! Molly slept from Salt Lake to Primm (the Nevada/California border!) It was so perfect. Lilly just watched movies and was a really good girl. We arrived in Primm at 2 am and found out that the hotel we usually stay in was full! Ugh, we were so exhausted by this point. We got back in the car and drove back 11 miles to Jean and stayed at an interesting, to say the least, hotel. Well, there were no bugs and a bed. By 4 am we were all asleep. we awoke the next morning at 7 am and just decided to get going. By this point I just wanted to be there! We hopped in the car, got breakfast and gas, and went on our way. We arrived in Santa Barbara in time for dinner and just had a relaxing night with Aaron's parents. At church on Sunday we had a great time visiting with people we hadn't seen in quite a while. It was fun to introduce our girls to the people at the ward. On Monday we met up with our friends, Marlena, Ryan and their 15 month old Quincy, and Deneane. We had a great lunch at a place called Taffy's. It just seems to be the place we always ended up with them. The kids had a great time playing and the adults had a great time talking. Ryan loved feeding Molly because he is a little bit baby hungry. I hope you got your fill Ryan!
After lunch, we headed down to the wharf and walked along just soaking up the sun. Lilly really enjoyed seeing the ocean and all the boats. When we finished there, we weren't quite ready to go home, so we rented a Surrey and rode all along the beach. We had a great time and Lilly really had fun waving at all the people and ringing the bell.
Aaron and Lilly on the Surrey. We had to take a pause because Molly was really hating the snuggli. It was quite a work out to pedal and hold my own with a little 15 pound bundle of joy strapped to me!
