Solvang, California ~ Day 1

It was time for our yearly Wallin family vacation, this year we picked to go to Solvang, CA, we try and pick new places every year! We were all ready to go making the last minute plans and getting wash done when my Mom called and said that my Dad wasn't doing to well! His cast was leaking fluid which meant liquid was coming out of his foot from the surgery which also meant he had to drive up north immediately to see his doctor! He had an infection which meant he was staying at the hospital for at least 4 days! Which also meant my Mom and Dad were not going to be able to come on vacation! We were all super bummed and not quite knowing what to do! Well our family and Sam's family decided to still go! Sunday morning we headed to sacrament then went home packed the car and headed to California!

We hit the road around 11 a.m. and moved on our way!
Leaving selfie!
We stopped in Vegas for lunch, we just brought stuff for sandwiches, found a park ate, stretched out legs then hit the road again!
We finally hit the coast! The kids were thrilled!
We still had a bit of driving to do so to pass time and the anxiousness of the kids to be out of the car we broke out the treats!
Owen watching movies and eating licorice! 
Carter in the back giving me a half smile because he was done driving!
Baylee was happy I finally broke out the treats! She is a treat-aholic!
After about 8 1/2 to 9 hours on the road we finally made it!
I brought some stuff to make spaghetti and while I cooked the kids made themselves comfortable in their room!
Carter and Ellie owning the beds!
So happy to finally be here!
Yummy!
The drivers trying to wind down!
We can't wait for tomorrow!

This kid is quite the character! He is so happy, has the biggest smile, down for anything and full of himself! He loves being outside, playing with his brother and sister, and getting in trouble! He loves his sleep, loves to eat and loves to laugh! He is a tease and loves it when we laugh at him! He thinks  he is so big and he really loves his mommy!
He can say thank you, Carter, uh-oh, cheese and you are working on a lot more words! You "dab" and it's so stinkin' cute! You got hand foot mouth disease this month and you got it pretty bad, took a while to clear up but hopefully you don't get it again!
