Trip in 1,000 pics!

We recently made a trip to Utah to see Greg's Grandparents. In more pictures than words, here it is.

Going over Snoqualmie pass

Isaac loves road trips.

Clouds over Yakima

Watching Cars (how we survived the 17hr road trip)

All 3 kiddos

It was so windy! A tumbleweed stuck to our car

Going over the Blue Mountains

This is what road trips are all about. Family bonding!

I thought it was cool how you could see the rain/snow cloud line!

She was so happy every time we stopped and she got to get out, even though you can't really tell here.

Her hair looked so red in the sunlight.

Ashley with her Great-Grandpa

I love the way she's straining to see her Great-Grandma

Playin catch phrase

The boys had so much fun jumping on this!

Gary wanted to play, I told him he had to just watch.

Our dirty dirty car.

We had such a fun time, even though it was quick. 15 hr drive. There for 24 hrs, 17 hr drive home. It was so worth it to see family and have Greg's grandparents meet Ashley. The boys did amazing in the car, only a couple minor meltdowns (but when you're stuck in the car for 15 hrs you can expect to have a couple. Ashley did amazing. We stopped to feed her every 3 hrs. We would stop so I could feed her and Greg would take the boys to run around, play some games, and get some wiggles out while I fed Ashley in the car. We would put them all back in the car and go another 3-4 hrs!  Our kids travel so well they amaze me sometimes. On the way home we drove all night. We left about 8pm and got home about 1pm the next day. We just switched off driving and sleeping. It worked out really well and made the trip easy because all of the kids slept all night so we didn't have to make as many stops. It took longer to get home because we went a different way, and coming out of the Blues, going down Cabbage hill it was SO foggy and snowy that we could hardly see 3 feet in front of our car! It was Scary but luckily Greg is a superstar driver, kept his cool and got us home safely!
