Highway run

We hit the road on Wednesday and it was smooth sailing down I-5 except for one incident involving a projectile chocolate milk at Subway, but that seems to be our M.O. with every California road trip.  

It's important to take frequent breaks when your schedule is jam packed with movie watching and leap pad playing.

Exposing our children to the wide expanse of humanity, one Motel 6 at a time.

There were definitely some characters lurking in the deep corners of this joint.  Not that I'm judging.  Especially after shorty number two had a bloody nose in the pool and shorty number one couldn't make it to the potty in time and peed straight up in the motel shrubbery. Love it.

This sign was my personal favorite, along with:
CALL 911 in case of emergency

 (Phone located in the lobby.)

But even the shadiest of motels can set the stage for great joy and adventure.  Just as long as you don't think about the alien bug you found on the bed.
