Day 9: One last trip to the ocean & heading home

Our last day we packed up the car and headed home. We were making the entire drive home that day so we figured we'd make one last stop at a little hike to an overlook over the ocean to get the wiggles out. It was really windy and cold with the major storm coming in that we were lucky enough to mostly miss. It was still so beautiful! I love the ocean!!
Kade did one last robot dance:Then we drove, drove, drove, making only three stops along the way. Our kids were awesome in the car! We stopped for a bit in Vegas to eat and get some more wiggles out by seeing the lion habitat at MGM Grand. Since we had a later start we didn't get home until 1 am CA time, which really meant 2 am UT time! We were completely exhausted for the next week, but it was worth it for all of the fun we had.
We had such a well-needed wonderful trip with our family with lots of genuine smiles and fun times. Many great memories were made. I love that we were able to go to Disneyland and celebrate our awesome McKade's 5th birthday. Now the countdown begins until Alexis's 5th...only 2 1/2 more years!!!
