California Here Come The Ivins....

December 21, 2010 - 

We traveled down to California for Christmas Tuesday night. We decided  that it would be easiest to travel at night so that Rowynne would sleep instead of be awake for the ten hour drive. We of course left Utah the day that it snowed... in fact it was snowing as we drove from Eagle Mountain. We were a little worried about the drive, we were hoping the weather wouldn't be to difficult. 

It seemed that the farther we got from Utah the worse the weather got. The storms in California were definitely felt. We had more snow, fog, wind, and lots and lots and lots of rain. The rain and wind were the worst. At some points it was even hard to control the car at all from the wind, I'm sure if you had seen the car you would have thought I fell asleep we were swerving so badly. The rain also continued to get harder the closer we got to San Diego. Cory and I switched driving because the rain was getting so bad I didn't feel comfortable driving anymore... Cory drove the last two hours for me!  Such a nice hubby!

 The only great thing about the drive was that Rowynne slept the whole way, we didn't much of anything from her the entire 10 hours. We were glad when we finally pulled up to my Mom's house... it seemed like we would never make it. 

 Cory making crazy faces while he was driving. Anything that keeps him awake!

Rowynne... she woke up while we were getting gas in Beaver. She didn't look happy that she was awake. But she was out as soon as the car started moving again!  

Our little car was packed to the max. Filled with Christmas presents and whatnot. 
I seriously don't know how we would have flown.. we have way to much stuff. 

10 hour drive with baby... A success!
