So we just got back from our mother daughter adventure/vacation! We flew up to Arizona to visit family in Phoenix and Mesa. The flight was alright, due to the fact that it was only me and Nahleah traveling. It was my first experience in traveling alone with her. At first I thought "OMG its going to be a VERY long plane ride!" lol BUT she wasn't too bad. She slept the beginning of the flight, and awake the rest of the way. I tried my best to keep her happy, and it worked. lol. When we landed, I was like "Thank Goodness..ITS OVER, YESSSS!!" lol. We stayed with my aunt (moms little sister) and her family in Mesa. She's got three little girls, so you could already imagine, it was a slumber party every night for nahleah and the girls. lol. We got see the rest of the family, (my moms got a bunch of siblings living in the same area), so it was really nice to see everyone again. We stayed in Arizona for 5 days, then it was bye bye Arizona and HEELLLOO Utah!:)
FLIGHT TO ARIZONA
Having fun with the Medley girls :)
Flight to UTAH!! Slept the whole wayy :)
We flew to Utah cause we were meeting up with my parents. They were having a school reunion thing in Utah, plus we had family there that we have not seen for years! (Dads siblings and their families) The plan was my parents flew out to vegas from hawaii on Monday arrive in Vegas the next morning, then drive up in time to pick us up from the airport in Utah. "Yeah NO" lol. Their flight got delayed so we had my aunt (Dads Sister) pick us up. We stayed with her while my parentals stayed at a hotel. They wanted to be close to their reunion stuff, so they chose to stay there until Friday then they came and stayed with us at my aunts. Nahleah was shy for the first couple days, after that she was okay. I have not seen my dads side for quite some time, and it was ssooo GGOOODDD to reunite with them. :) We all had a great time in Utah. We got to go shopping, and we had a big family BBQ. And not to mention the CONFERENCE! I absolutely LOVED the prophets talk. After we watched the conference we left that sunday to drive to Eagle Mountain to go and stay with my uncle (moms brother). We stayed there our last night, then the next morning we started our long drive to Las Vegas. It was a 6 hour drive, my dad drived the whole way and OMG i seriously thought we weren't gonna make it...ALIVE. lol. He was speeding the whole way, my mom and i kept yelling "SLOW DOWN!!" lol. We were driving back to Vegas to catch our flight back to Hawaii. The flight wasn't until 6 pm. So we were ok on the time, since we left early that morning. We made sure Nahleah was kept occupied the entire ride. lol. We got there only to get lost looking for the rental car place to return the rental. SMH. "The driver (my dad) and the co-pilot (my mom) are FIRED!!" lol. My dad was following the g.p.s and my mom was following the signs telling my dad to go here and there, when the g.p.s is doing the same thing LOL...so we got lost. Lucky thing i was there, or we would have missed our flight. lol. We returned the car and caught a shuttle to the airport. And finally got our stuff checked in and made it to our gate with plenty of time to kill. I was so ready for the day to be over. lol. But all in all our trip was GREAT. I loved every bit of it, even the part where we got lost. lol. And I know Nahleah had a great time too. She got to visit three different states all at once :) But next time we will just stick to flying, NO MORE DRIVING! lol
The Family in Utah <3
Drive from Utah to Las Vegas
