Delightful Travels with The Hawkers

We rocked Disneyland and now...

we are back!

Me, Lou, Kade,and Kie

left for Cali at 5 am on Friday morning...

We should have been there by 5 pm

BUUUUuuuTTTTT NOOOOoooo!

We broke down just outside of RENO.

There must be a nice part of Reno....

But we WERE NOT IN IT!

Had to stay at a hotel ...

got checked in to

Aloha Inn...

not yo mama's hotel.

Matt came down  to Reno from Vacaville, ca

to save us from a sure breakdown

of   MAJOR porportions.

We ended up staying overnight again....

but we said "ALOHA" TO Aloha Inn...

and stayed in a very nice hotel...

 Hubby and Kids had fun in the pool

I was sicker than a dog...

THE INFLUENZA.

What the Heck!

This can't be happening .

Oh but it is.

It's life. We roll with it.

But then for the good part ...

Disneyland

we decided to go inspite of the unexpected $1500

Reno stop over...

grrrrr....

Here we are Rockin Out DisneyLand...

CUz we EARNED IT!

We had a great time playing together.

Afterall...a family that

Pays together,  stays together....

or wait,  that is the family car repair motto....

i meant....

PLAYS together!

Beautiful Mess

Well it is Tuesday....

WOW!

It literally feels like i have been in some

kind of coma for the past 5 days....

I loaded up the children

and our  *vintage luggage*...

(trips are better with vintage baggage....serious.)

and we headed to California on Friday.

We never made it.

YA'  HURD MAY!

The old family ride did not come through for us.

grrr hmmm ^&*% blizzabur, shnagga meising,

(trust me ...it's for your own good that this is incoherent babble)

We did maked it to Perty Reno tho'...

Yeppsies!

We even got ter stay in the

world famous Aloha Inn.....

(dont quote me on the world famous part)

No worries....

Hubby drove from cali to reno to come

support his blubbering, cussing, wife.

and wallah...

just like that....

2 days and an unexpected $1300.00 later

We had us a new catalytic converter and

we was on our way....

for about 40 minutes....

til  bessie let us down yet again.

yup....

her was still broked.

we dicided....

"BAG IT ALL"

we droved to cali anyhow!

we just stopped....

a lot.

This whole time i was sooo

sick.

The flu.

so it really all seems like a hot mess of a blur to me.

Which isnt how you want the first 5 days of

Your family vacation to go...

well...being the mom i am...

i dragged my  sweaty, snorty, dizzy,

self outta bed and  took my kids to one of our

old favorite parks around these parts.

It really does not seem like 10 months since we

were living in a hotel room here.

But Thank MaLord it's in the past!

Our life is best described by these 2 words....

BEAUTIFUL  MESS

??  What words best describe your life lately??

PLEEZ SHARE!
