California

We made a super fast trip to Riverside California this weekend. Brian needed to go down and meet with some people about some future plumbing projects in the Riverside area. It was mostly business, so we didn't do anything to exciting.

We left early Saturday afternoon, and made to to our friends James and Rhonda's house around 5 o'clock that evening. That night, James and Rhonda, Rhonda's dad Rick and wife Kim, a bunch of their friends, and us went to see Kim's son's band (he's the drummer) play in a little club in Corona. Their band was really good! We had alot of fun. We went out to eat after, then we slept and James and Rhonda's new house in Riverside.

The kids had fun playing with Rhonda's son Baily and her niece Kaylyn. While we went to the club, we had a couple of girls come over to the house and babysit. They watched movies, and all camped out in the living room.

The next morning, James and Rhonda went to church and Brian was talking business. So I cleaned up our stuff, and kept and eye on the kids. James and Rhonda live on the Golf Course, and the kids had a hard time resisting playing on all the grass! They did find a little "hideout" up the road, where they caught some snails. They were really disappointed when we wouldn't let them bring them home.

On the way home, we stopped off somewhere along the way - not even sure where- and visited the Early Man Archaeological Site. It wasn't to impressive. But it gave us all a change to get out of the truck, hike around, and stretch our legs before getting back on the road for the second half of the journey.

Finally, we made it home around 5 o'clock. We feel like we now need a weekend to rest after all of the driving this weekend! But, it was a good trip. We really enjoy getting to see James and Rhonda and Rick and Kim. We miss living close to them! But, if the economy continues the way it has been going, we will most likely be moving to Riverside in June. I really hate moving, but it is a nice area and I think it would be a fun new adventure! I am a little worried about the traffic there. However, on the positive side, we will be living about a half hour away from the beach and Disneyland and Sea World - and we would have a southern California resident discount! No plans set in stone yet - we will just have to wait and see what happens. It is still comforting to know that with as slow as work as been here in Vegas, that we have other options. It takes ALOT of stress off my shoulders!

Oh - and I forgot my camera. Of course. So all I have is a couple of really crappy cell phone pictures.
