Our Drive West!


We left New Orleans and our first stop was Houston, TX to visit my friend Yvonne and Brianna who happened to be visiting from Minnesota. We stopped by just to say hi and grab lunch on our way to San Antonio. When we got to San Antonio we spent the night with a mutual friend of ours named Tamora. We spent the night hanging out and listening to music and chatting.

After leaving San Antonio we headed to Gilbert Arizona to stay with the Binstock's (My cousins). The kids loved Chaz! We hung out for the weekend playing with the kids and just relaxing. We spent a lot of time playing the Rock Band video game with the kids and Chaz even got them singing Kiss! We also got to take the kids to a movie that we were wanting to see. It was hard to leave the kids but we were off to Las Vegas to visit Chaz's family next.

We drove through the day and got to the Hoover Dam at night fall! It was cool to see the Hoover Dam for the first time at night.. I also got to drive in to Vegas at night and see all the cool lights! When we got to his cousin's house we went out to dinner with Karen and Kathy and then headed to bed. The next day we spent the day touring Vegas and even caught a live garden show at one of the Casinos and I enjoyed my first In-And-Out-Burger! We also stopped at the little wedding chapel and took a fake picture showing that we got married. They laughed at me because I had never had one! We planned on leaving that night but instead hung out with Karen and spent another night there! We ended up not leaving till late the next night! I had a great time with his a family and would love to go back for another visit!

Chaz planned on leaving late that night so that when we drove into San Fransisco It would be early in the morning and we could drive around San Fran before heading to San Jose. It was so cool to see the Pacific Ocean at sunrise and to see all of the Bay in general! He even drove me down the whindiest (sp?) road in San Fran. We had a blast driving around the city and seeing all of the beautiful things it had to offer!
