I checked flights on Epedia from LAX to Dayton, coming in on Friday and leaving on Sunday and they are running about 230 for 1 adult. Its 434 to fly into Fort Wayne and about 287 into Indianapolis.
I will make some calls about hotels next week. I will try to get info on a few hotels in Bluffton, Indiana, but I am leaning towards the Holiday Inn. I plan on trying to reserve 10 rooms for the night before and the night of the wedding. If you think we will need more or you would like other info on things in the area, PLEASE, let me know!!! Feel free to call anytime or email. You can get my number from Jeremiah's mom or sisters or from my parents. It's getting close!!!!! Let me know what I can do to help you guys make plans!!!
Celebrating my Grandpa's Birthday
My mom suprized me by bringing my
grandparents along with my dad and my dog. It was wonderful not to have to drive to Indiana and back today too. We took my grandparents over to the AF museum for a bit and then a quick driving tour of base before dinner. My mom brought a fruit pizza (delicious) to suprize my grandpa for his birthday which we all didn't get to celebrate last week. It was so good to see them and I hope they come back to visit soon!
Fun in Santa Maria
We spent a chunk of our time in Santa Maria with Crystal and her family. We went to Pisomo Beach and played in the waves and found tons of Sand Dollars. Jeremiah found a wetsuit on sale and now he is the proud owner of one. We painted part of his siter's fence, hit another casino (my little gambler won money again), caught a movie, spend more time with Jeremiah's parents, and went to Disneyland. I have never been to Disneyland before and I really enjoyed it. Spacemountain really was the coolest ride ever. It was fun to see Jeremiah's nephew Landon taking it all in. We had such a wonderful time and we are so excited to have everyone visit us in December.
Grandpa in Bakersfield
We made quick stop in Bakersfield to see Grandpa Henry,who looked very well for just being sick. He is still a joker! We even played Dominos with Pam and Ernie....which Jeremiah won. It was a short but nice stop!
Jenkins in Modesto
We got to hang out for a weekend in Modesto with Jeremiah's sister Stephanie and her family. Jeremiah's parents got to join us as well. It was fun to spend time with all of them. Jeremiah tormented his nieces and nephews, we played Rock Band, celebrated an early birthday for Adrianne, played in the pool, and had a wonderful time. We look forward to seeing them again in December as well!
Beautiful Mountains
These are pictures from 8,000ft in the mountains on our drive from Nevada to Modesto, CA. It was so pretty. Poor Jeremiah drove the whole time and didn't get too see much of the view, but luckily we stopped here to stretch and enjoy.
Reno in the River
While vising in NV we took a short trip up to Reno to hopefully see my great friend Katie while she was haning out there for a wedding. Unfourtunately she was catching a much needed pre-wedding nap, but we are so glad we went. We went down to the Riverwalk which is right downtown thinking maybe it would be like the one in San Antonio...well we were wrong. It was so cool. They have it set up so that you can play in the river and ride down the rapids. I begged Jeremiah to get in with me and then we ended up having tons of fun! You have to watch the video of him coming down the rapids. He starts towards the top left and then eventually passes the rapid right in front of me. He is too cute. He totally got in just to make me happy, but I am glad that he enjoyed himself in the end. The setting was so beautiful: mountains, river rapids, beautiful park, fun downtown, and one really cute mexican. Love you all and you should all go if you ever find yourself in Reno!
Aunt Angie in NV
I am so glad we stopped in to visit Jeremiah's Great Aunt Angie during our visit. The view as we swung around Lake Tahoe on the way there was amazingly beautiful. She was so funny and welcoming. It was very nice of her husband and her to keep us and feed us for a day! She took Jeremiah gambling....the start of something I think! But he did very well and won a whole 7 dollars. We enjoyed listening to stories about her childhood and Jeremiah's grandmother's. As well as their funny stories about the her and her husband as they were young and just married. I'm so glad we got to spend time with them....and their crazy little dog!
We love Aimee & Job
Our first stop on our very own California adventure was to see our great friends Aimee and Job Morales and their family at Travis Air Force Base, which in Fairfiel, CA. It was so great to see them; although I did ruin most of our fun having plans.... I got a horrible GI bug the first night, spent most of the second day in the ER (a nice hospital though), and I'm sure I was not the most exciting company for dinner that night or a quick coffee drop off in the morning. They, however, were wonderful and all looked so well. Aimee is such a great mom and friend and the rest of the family is just as sweet and wonderful as she is. The best news is that Job has agreed to do our wedding (it will be his first and he will be amazing.) We are so excited to see them again in December!
Family Reunion
Today I got to go to one of the many family reunions this season. I think I look forward to this one the most each year. We meet in a cleared out woods that was an old homestead of our family. We eat delicious food, we go on a hay ride (this time we went to an old cemetery where some of relatives are), we play games (like water balloon toss), and catch up on family news. I can't wait to take Jeremiah next year. Everyone is looking forward to having him there and those that haven't met him are so excited to.
Everyone was also asking about wedding plans....wow, I am totally not ready... ha ha ha...
