Road Trip ...

We went on a little road trip with the family. We stayed in Laughlin for two nights and drove around to Arizona and California.

Dat one; we dropped the puppies off to be boared. It was hard since it was their very first time. After we checked in and situated into our rooms, we went to the old car exhibit at the riverside. My dad has an itch to buy an old car. We had dinner and then played a little poker. I lost a little, but Justin won $100.00



Day two; we drove to bullhead city and did some antiquing. Justin found a laso and an old military amo case. We then decided to try a new town called Oatman. We got to drive on a piece of historical route 66, it was so cute. Oatman was a qwaint old western town with cute shops. They even had a gun sliging show. Donkeys were roaming everywhere and you could buy a bundle of carrots to feed them. One really wanted to follow Justin home. After Oatman, we drove to Lake Havasu to see the London Bridge, it was so neat. There is a whole old time London village and the base with shops. Its crazy how you can still see all the numbers that were put on each piece for when it was moved over the Atlatic Ocean. After a long hot day, we headed back for dinner and just a little gaming. I won $100.00 within three minutes and called it an early night.









Day three; we drove to Kingman after checking out. We did some more antiquing and i found a beautiful old wine glass set and an antique perfume bottle. Lunch came and passed after a few stores until we went to The Cracker Barrel for lunch and bought way too much candy in their gify shop. We had plenty of sugar to last us on our way home. We only had a little slow down going over the dam.





We made it by the skin of our teeth picking up the dogs from boarding before they closed. They were so happy and excited, but right when they got in the back of the car they passed out. I love vacations, but also love coming home.
