Day 7

The last day of our Journey home turned out to be a long day! We woke up at a decent time, ate our continental breakfast, packed the car, load everybody, and got on the road. One thing we totally forgot about was the time difference. We might have been on the road at 8am but it was really 10am Texas time, bummer so we pretty much new at that time we were gonna role into town late. Kids were happy watching there DVDs, coloring, snacking, and singing! I caught a video of Allison singing a song from the movie Hook. We stopped for lunch and that was also a bummer the place messed up our order and had to remake it, we stopped there for over an hour! Then we hadn't been on the road long and poor Cooper had diarrhea for the rest of the day, which made for many many stops! We ended up going through 3 pairs of clothes! We stopped in El Paso at there outlet after we stopped for gas. We went in and bought Cooper an outfit, walked around, let the kids play at a play ground, and ate some ice cream. We got back on the road and new we were in for a long 4 hours! Well of course we had a little hold up at the Sierra Blanca check station. We are 4 people with the last name SANCHEZ, and an out of state car. Back on the road, my sister calls and says it's raining and thundering in Midland. So about an hour latter we pull in stopped for some dinner and covered the luggage. We ended up pulling into Midland a little after midnight. The trip to California came and went, I was happy to be home in my bed but sad that the trip was over. California is such a big part of my life and childhood my second home, until the next visit.
