Two Thursdays ago, Brig and I headed to Cali for our 1st road trip alone! The first night we stayed in a hotel by Six Flags. On the way, we stopped at the outlets of course & got Brig a stylish new hat (as shown in pictures) & some flip flops.
Friday morning we drove to Six Flags and were there for most of the day. It was Brigham's 1st time there and he loved it! So we decided to be ammusement park nerds & run all the way up the hill to ride X2 before it got too crowded. As we were running past all these teenagers, we kinda stopped for a second to catch our breath. While we were stopped, a couple people ran past us to get to the ride and I heard a girl behind us say..."What idiots...I mean, who runs to the rides? Seriously." Haha.
So approaching X2 we come to find out that you have to pay for a locker before every ride to put your stuff in. Lame. But we did, EXCEPT we forgot to put the most important stuff in my purse that we locked in the locker. Such as.. Keys, wallet, and phone. And if any of you have ridden X2, you know what I'm talking about. Brig was holding onto his pockets the whole entire ride and at the very end, yep...his phone slipped out. Kinda depressing. BUT at least it wasnt the keys right??
At about 3:30, we were done with roller coasters so we headed to our next hotel about an hour away by Knotts Berry Farm. It was way nice! We unpacked all of our stuff, went hot tubbing, went to El Toritos for dinner, walked around the mall, ate icecream at Berrysweet (amazing.), and got back massages from chairs in Bed Bath & Beyond (Brig informed me that I have some competition with my back massages).
The next morning, we went to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast. DeLiCiouS. I recommend the blueberry stuffed french toast. mmmm. But not if you're trying to eat healthy.
We packed up and headed to Knotts at about 12. Speaking of packed...Knotts was insanely crowded. We were in line for 1 1/2 hr for our 1st ride. And as you know...the ride is about 1 min long! haha. But it was worth it! We rode a total of 3 rides in 4 hrs, then were pretty much sick of lines, so we left and headed to
the Angels stadium where we met Brigham's aunt & uncle there. They got us front row tickets! Brigham was in heaven! After the game we stayed at there house & chatted til midnight. They are the coolest people. Sunday morning, she made us a deicious egg casserole & we headed to church.
After Sacrament meeting, we left to drive home. It was depressing to see the temp. change as we got closer to AZ. :(
We miss California! The weather was so nice there! But we're glad to be home. :)

Griffey! Brigham named his dog after him a long time ago. Wouldn't you just love to have a dog named after you?
