Headaches and Happenings: Im getting Blogged down!

Ok, so Im sorry that I haven't been able to post until now. Promises of Wi-Fi were Wi-not. Lets get you guys up to speed.
We spent the weekend at Disneyland for Corey's work. Mandatory fun is what they like to call it. We of course had a blast. Now, I have no photographic proof that we went to Disneyland, I do however have park tickets, a few unused "Fast-passes" and a couple of souvenirs. We got to catch up with lots of friends and welcome everybody back from deployment.
We set out early Sunday morning for our big road adventure. We stumbled out of the hotel at about 4 am and didn't stop until sunrise. That of course, means breakfast. We stopped at a truck stop somewhere off Interstate 5 and enjoyed some greasy IHOP!! Heaven!

Nothing beats sunrise on the highway. Cool and misty roads.

Emily. Awake just enough to put some mileage on a few crayons.

Corey and Sam. Both with bedhead.

We finished up breakfast and hopped back on the road. We took a little detour and hopped on route 46 that connects the 5 to the 1o1. It was a beautiful road, dotted with lots of farms and green valleys. It seemed like every bend in the road would lend itself to a prettier scene. I commented on this to Corey. His response.." It kinda makes you want Ranch dressing, doesn't it." Just one more reason for me to love that guy.

We hit the 101 in Paso Robles, a beautiful town in a beautiful part of the state. Just off the 101, we stopped at The mission San Miguel Arcangel. It was a good opportunity for the girls to run around and to take in a bit of California history. The mission was built in 1797. It was a bit run down, but still amazing nonetheless.

The church was beautiful. The entire interior was built with wood and stucco. This whole front wall behind the alter was wood. Another interesting point: Im used to seeing Jesus on the crucifix behind the alter. This church had a giant St. Micheal instead.

A hallway leading from the interior courtyard out to the exterior of the mission.

The girls looking at an oven. This mission raised money by selling wool items and olive oil.

After the mission, we powered on through to our first campsite at Half moon bay. Half moon bay is just north of San Jose and south of San Fransisco. Corey and I have stayed here before and love the place. Its right on the beach and has lots of great vistas...and hot showers! I have more pics to post of this site, but Im only going to give you guys one day at a time. That way you get an idea of how we have been filling our days.
