An Adventure

Snow in Gorman
Rain at Disneyland.
Samantha's poncho was like that the whole time

Disneyland was the original plan for Nate's big 3-4, but we thought since the weather was awful we had second thoughts. Splash Cafe in Pismo was an option as well as movies and bowling here in town. Plus the forecast said we might even see snow in Bakersfield. After about 30 minutes of deciding we thought lets just stick with our original plan and head down south to Disneyland. Nate's exact words when we finally came to a plan were "Let's go on an Adventure" and that is exactly what he got. I will not bore you all with the details but just break it down for you...


Rain


Snow


Stopped in Gorman to play in the Snow


Went back to Gorman to find Nate's Phone


After 30 minutes of digging in Snow no luck.


Stop in Valencia for 2 new Cell Phones ( I have not seen my phone since October).


Lots of Rain


3:30 Arrive at Disneyland, note we left at 10:30


California Adventures for 3 rides


Disneyland for Hot Chocolate, 1 ride, and a phone call from my Dad telling me that I5 is shut and we should start home.


In-N-Out at Lyons Exit in Santa Clarita and crossing our figures that they will let us through


Make it to about Castaic( a hour from home) and had to turn around


126 to the 101 north


Saw the Ocean


Passed Splash Cafe


Paso Robles to the 46 east and we are finally almost home


46 to I5 open and clear and I have never been so happy to see the sign


Bakersfield.


2:20am we pull into our driveway


So basically we could have either driven to Salt Lake City but Nathan's Birthday wish came true


he got his "Adventure"

I am scared it is going to be like this for us when we pass through tomorrow night... we are starting to plan alternate routes. But we won't cancel our plans to see you guys. We are too excited.

A birthday none of you will ever forget. Did Nathan get another iPhone?
