Crazy Weather

So I have written about our time at Disneyland but not about the trip there. The wind was crazy. It blew from Payson all the way to California. I knew we had a long drive ahead since we were driving straight to California but it took us 14 hours to get there. We got home in 10 1/2 hours. We got caught in stop and go traffic from Vegas until we were about 30 miles fom our hotel. It was the longest drive not to mention the longest day.

We stopped right before Vegas to get gas and while we were getting it the Jack in the Box sign across the street came crashing down. It was one of the tall signs they put up so you can see it from the freeway. It landed right next to someone in the drive thru. I couldn't imagine being that person. It was so loud when it hit not to mention sitting there next to it what they must have been thinking.


We drove through a lot of dust and tumbleweeds.


I would have to say for as long as we were in the car that day our kids did really well. Kaitlyn got a little bored here and there. Luckily the next day at Disneyland the weather was perfect. The weather was great while we were there. It was in the 70's and 80's. We were lucky after talking to people at home talking about all the snow. I was really hoping it was all going to leave before we got home but no luck there.
The drive home went a lot better. Of course the wind warnings went out again that day but it was nothing like the day we went.
Didn't Colby get a nice picture of the sunset though.
