We are moving in a week, I have 2 weeks of homework to do before we leave and I'm here posting about how excited I am to take Troy on a little excursion on our way to Phoenix. I think my decision making skills are hampered by the stress of 3 college classes, moving, and a wedding all in the next 6 weeks. Oh, don't forget my favorite holiday this month and Christmas 4 days after the wedding! No big deal...
Let's just keep living in a fantasy world, pretending that those things aren't an issue, and talk about this trip!
FIRST LEG
Gig Harbor to Bandon, Oregon

FIRST LEG
Gig Harbor to Bandon, Oregon
My cousin, Kim, lives in Bandon and is always saying that it is heaven on earth so I thought we should check it out for ourselves. This post is probably a little premature since I actually haven't heard back from her that we can bunk with her for the night! Let's just say that I have great faith that she loves me enough to let me come. She did say once that I was her favorite cousin… sorry to all the wonderful Fry cousins, I'm sure she didn't really mean it… very much!
SECOND LEG
Bandon to Santa Cruz via the majestic Redwoods of Northern California

The Redwoods are right in the heart of where Ryan served his mission and he said they are just incredible to see in person. We are planning on seeing the "TEN MUST SEE REDWOOD TREES," and the "AVENUE OF THE GIANTS".
THIRD LEG
Santa Cruz to The Happiest Place on Earth via the PCH (Pacific Coast HIghway)

I can't wait to open the sunroof, feel the sun on my face and cruise down this highway. I also plan to take a gazillion pictures. That's an actual number, right?
I don't think I'm physically able to drive past Anaheim on the freeway without stopping at Disneyland for the day. Growing up 20 minutes from here has made me a Mouseketeer for life. Troy is really excited too and he must have inherited that Disney loving gene. Sean, on the other hand, is a bit jealous. I'm not sure he is allowed to feel that way considering he spends his college days on a beach in Hawaii! I will take pity on him, and buy him a Donald Duck t-shirt, though. Ryan? Sarah? I'm taking requests for wedding gifts! :o)
FOURTH LEG
Anaheim to San Diego to see my brother John
We will get to spend a couple of nights with John, Morgen and Hannah. Hopefully, the big kids will come see us too! That means you Justine, Christian and Tanner!

Troy and I are looking forward to spending a lazy day combing the beaches of Carlsbad and eating fish tacos. You really can't get good Mexican food up here in the Northwest!
FINAL LEG
San Diego to Phoenix
By the time we are ready to set off for Phoenix, we are going to be so excited to see Kent and the puppies. The endless boxes won't be so fun, but hopping into this pool every once in a while, may help us get through the big mess with a smile on our faces and a little sunburn on our shoulders!
