Car ride home from California

Luckily, Grammie and Pop provided us with early Christmas stocking stuffers to open on our way back home. We left California at about 3:30pm on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. What is usually an 18 hour car ride turned into 30 hours. Besides Jeff getting a speeding ticket through Arizona, we had car trouble in Richfield, UT at about 3am. We had to stop and try and find a vacancy to sleep for a few hours until we could find a place to fix our cooling line. By the time we reached Colorado we were in a snow storm with almost zero visibility. We were so blessed when we finally reached home safely at 11pm on Saturday night. The kids however thought it was the best car ride ever. Of course they did, they had new toys to play with and movies to watch as well as snacks to eat.
