Days 1,2,and 3 of Roadtrip '08

Well, we've successfully made it through three days of the '08 Roadtrip, and we have so far had one severely cut hand (no stitches required per the Hub), and three unknown bug bites, and no fatalities.  Pretty good for a family vacation!

We've had such an awesome time with Sister M'Bellish and company, and enjoyed the joys of one of the nicest, upscale malls; I do believe that I will survive the closing of the greatest store on earth!  God is good, guys and dolls, God is good!  

Turns out that #4 is an awesome traveler and has many adoring fans now in multiple states - she IS gorgeous, you know.  We did get her some royal clothes and will stop by the royal cobbler's establishment (Stride Rite) before heading to the indoor water park extraordinaire!!!  Must say I am quit happy that the Masses did not do ANY property damage at the Parkies' house - hallelujah!!!!

We have enjoyed the delicious cuisine of Matt's Rancho Martinez Mexican Food Restaurant (to which there is no comparison for the chicken chili relleno with green sauce - not red - GREEN); we then proceeded to pretend to work off our gluttony at the North Park (oh, it should be referred to with great deference and honor).  Tomorrow, we will don our bathing suits and pretend to ignore the aftereffects of the chili relleno - so worth every extra mile!

If I seem a little scattered, I am now mainlining Diet Coke with reckless abandon.  I think I'll need an intervention when the holidays are over.  But until then, pass the 2 liter baby!!!!  Well, gotta go sleep so I can get up and have more Diet Coke tomorrow!
