Road Trip

We have taken several road trips over the past few weeks, which I thought you may wish to see pics of.  First of all, we returned to the scene of the original crime...the Pelican Inn; where almost 2 years ago, Dan and I were married.  It is still as beautiful as when we were there.  We enjoyed a cheese plate and a pint. Elanor enjoyed watching the other people and of course managed to make a few friends.

This past weekend, we went to San Luis Obispo to visit friends Michelle & Chris and then went further south to Riverside to see family.  It was a long ride (1100 miles in 4 days), but Ella did really well and we had a blast.  We rented a car to save the wear and tear on our own vehicles.  We were riding in luxury in our Ford Crown Victoria...

While in San Luis Obispo, Ella got to test out some of baby Corinne's future toys.  Yep, they work.

Once we made it to Riverside we went for a walk.  The community Dan's step grandmother lives in is very unique.  It was fun to see the different style houses.

it's below 100 degrees, i guess it's time for a walk

The long drive and the hot weather (it was over 105 during the day) made for a tired Elanor.

The next day we went and visited Ella's Great Grandma Lue in Sun City.  We had a great lunch.

The final day of our roadtrip ended with a wonderful dinner in Riverside with Elanor's Great Grandpa Tom.

You would think after 8 hours of driving Ella would be grumpy and upset.  However, these pictures were taken at the end of the ride.  She is such a joy.

Fun in the car

OMG, more fun in the car

There were many more people we met and saw this past weekend including Great Grandma Ann, Uncle Larry, and Cousin Stacy, not to mention the plethora of doggies which Elanor absolutely loved.  Callie, Tom Tom, and Dooly provided countless hours of entertainment.
