The Voyage Home

With our vacation over, it was time to drive home from the hotel. Momoko was scheduled to do the drive. She followed the directions from the GPS in her car. However we found ourselves off track. The plan was to eat breakfast at Sonic along the way. But the car took us too far North.

I got on my iPhone and looked up Sonic online. Luckily they had a restaurant up North. We recalcuated our reoute with the GPS and arrived. This Sonic was weird in that it had indoor sit down tables. We got our breakfast on.

Momoko continued driving us home. She was tired and wanted some coca cola. Little Kat could not find the Cherry Coke we packed. Then it started to rain just in time for us to cross the huge bridge. Eventually we got home. The grass had grown very high. I went out and weeded some dandelions. Then I cut the lawn in the rain.

Next step is to host Easter dinner. Momoko is in charge of cooking as Kit Kat is away visiting daddy.

The Return Home

Today we got up on time. That was a feat since we went to bed around 4:00am last night. We checked out the hotel and headed to Sonic for some grub.

The ride home was ok. There were no tolls to pay. I was a good navigator. I sensed a tense moment or two when we drove over this massively long bridge. Momoko made me turn on some music to keep our mind off the disturbingly high bridge.

An hour after we got home, we headed to the airport to pick up Little Kat and Kit Kat. That worked out great. They plane landed right on time. We grabbed their luggage and ran.

Little Kat like the changes to his bedroom. The walls are painted his favorite color (green). And he has a new loft bed that gives his small room a lot more space.

Vacation Ordeal

Momoko and I slept in today. It is the first day of our vacation. Before driving to our destination, we decided to get some lunch. The line at Silver Diner wrapped outside the door. We went next door to Olive Garden because it seemed empty.

It is a two hour trip to the casino. So I figured it would be an easy ride. No chance. There was a big backup at the bridge. That added another two hours to the trip. I am glad it is not that far to the casino.

We did get lucky and found a close in parking place at the casino. Then we checked in and got some room service. Finally we let the slot machine games begin. I watched the iCarly movie at 8:00pm. Then I woke Momoko up for a night ride to Soninc. Delicious.
