Tahoe!

Since we had such a horrific flight to SD earlier this summer, we decided to try a somewhat local trip for vacation this year.

Lake Tahoe here we come for Labor Day weekend! The drive up went really really well. We arrived at Auntie Shelly’s sister house and it was beautiful!
Here comes the bad part, when we arrived at the cabin, we got a call that there was a big fire across the street from our house. My family kicked in and made sure our house didn’t burn to the ground (Thank you Mom, Dad & Chris!)

I should have known it was a sign of things to come.

After about ½ hour at the house, Sammie started saying “home now”. Ut oh! Good thing Kiki and NeNe show up tomorrow to play with Sammie!

The days were great! We had lots of fun hanging at the beach, playing in the wilderness around the house and playing at the various playgrounds around town.

The nights were long! Sammie never slept well. To give you an idea . . . on the 2nd night there Sammie woke up at 2.30 am. At 3.30am she was still awake, so I thought I’d take her for ride. That will put her to sleep for sure, right? Wrong. She got car sick and threw up all over herself, her pjs and the car seat. Nothing like cleaning vomit off of your daughter in the dead of night in the middle of the wilderness in your pjs! It’s 5.30am and Sammie is watching cartoons, chatting loudly and keeping the entire house up and I am delirious for not sleeping in 3 nights. Ugh!

We made it home, but every night was brutal. We were all so happy to be home and back to sleeping through the night!

No more trips this year!
