As much as we love going to Vegas for our mini vacations we decided to take a week vacation and do a road trip from hot and sunny Chandler, Arizona to cloudy and overcast San Francisco, California. We took a week off to drive up the coast of California along with Pat and Howie (my pops) and of course our little princess Lindsey.
We left this past Monday (9/6) afternoon and drove from Phoenix, Arizona to Santa Barbara, California. It was about an 8 hour drive, we finally arrived at our hotel around 11:30pm. Lindsey has an angel in the car, she enjoyed watching some of her movies and finally crashed a few hours before we reached the hotel. She also did a great job without having any potty accidents in the car. We had to make a few extra stops but she was dry the whole way...we were very proud of her. This was a rather tough night as Lindsey and I shared a twin bed and Rich slept on the floor on the air mattress we brought for Lindsey but we were all so tired from the long drive that we all crashed.
We woke up early Tuesday morning, had an awesome breakfast and then headed to the beach for Lindsey to see. This was her first time ever touching sand and seeing the ocean and she LOVED IT! She kicked off her sandals and dove right in she had a blast. We walked all the way to the water and put our feet in the ocean and that is when she freaked out. The water was very cold and she did not like having her feet dirty with sand. It was a struggle getting to come back to the car as she didn't want to leave. We finally left Santa Barbara around 10am and arrived in San Francisco around 3:30pm and again our little princess was awesome. We were all glad to get here and relax and not be in the car any longer. We checked in our hotel The Wharf Inn and settled in. We then walked around this crazy city and had a nice cup of Starbucks coffee and relaxed the rest of the evening.
