First Trip To California 2006

Kevin’s grandparents were celebrating their 60th Anniversary in 2006. Originally, I was supposed to drop off Kevin and Katelynn in Oklahoma City, so Kevin’s parents could stay on Interstate 40 from North Carolina to California. At first, I had too many clients that week and I was not able to make it. However, several clients canceled due to the Christmas season. And I could push my other clients a week out. Therefore, we met my in-laws in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we spent the night in a Motel.

After breakfast the next morning, Katelynn switched cars since she wanted to be with her grandparents. While Kevin and I followed them behind. After a few hours, Katelynn was tired of getting spoiled, so she wanted to come back into our car. Yeah, we had yogurt and some other goodies. After that, Katelynn took a nap. In the evening, we drove to the Aquarius Casino in Laughlin, Nevada. I was jetlagged and stayed with Katelynn in the casino hotel room, while Kevin was gambling with his parents.

On the third day, we finally made it to California. My Mother-in-law’s younger brother had a timeshare across from Disneyland in Anaheim. We were able to use the timeshare in early December. That was so cool. We just had to cross South Harbor Boulevard, in front of Disneyland. That evening, we had dinner at the local Denny’s and took it easy.
