Welcome to California

So over the weekend we took a trip down to Arizona to go to a family wedding on Eric's side of the family. sadly we had to leave home Friday night around six and then leave Arizona on Sunday. So we had a very very quick trip. Friday night we got to Vegas and spent the night there and then Saturday we get to Arizona around 2:30 in the afternoon. and the wedding was at four. then there was the reception and it was pretty entertaining.. very different from the average wedding reception i attend ill say. I've been so sheltered living here in Utah county pretty much my whole life. I just had to be more open minded on how the rest of the world lives. But it was good to see Eric's side of the family. his aunts, uncles, and cousins are very nice and welcoming.

After the reception we drove back to our hotel and saw an in and out burger so we had to stop hee hee. then we woke up at 7am and hit the road... when we got to Kingman Arizona we decided to switch and have Eric drive! So we gas up and turn where is says "Las vegas" so we are driving for about an hour.. in the middle of Nowhere! when we are thinking..." this really doesn't look like the way we came" then suddenly there it is a " Welcome to California sign!" lol we both where just shocked! I still dont know how we ended up there but we finally got back to Vegas but it took us a little over an hour to get back there. so our trip Sunday ended up being a 12 hour drive home.. but Hey we saw three states!
... I think next time we will be flying!
