We left around 9:15 in the morning and made it to Blythe for lunch. We ate at McDonald's which is very out of the norm for us but they have a huge newly remodeled play place, so it was worth it. The kids enjoyed not eating (Emma even commented on how bad our food was for our bodies, guess I may have said that about McD's a few times before) and running around getting their wiggles out.
After an hour of being stopped, we hit the road again and drove on to Cabazon, home of the greatest outlets! We had planned to stop and take another break especially since the Coach and Crate and Barrel Outlets were calling my name. When we got there we found that all of California was there too, it was so busy and there were cars everywhere! We drove in, looked for a spot (with no luck) and promptly drove out. Eric said he was sorry that I didn't get to shop but I think secretly he was happy I didn't get the chance to send our family to the poor house.
With only an hour left of our drive we decided to plug on. Luckily the kids both fell asleep and we made it to my grandparent's house in record time. When we arrived my parents, uncles, aunts, and a bunch of my cousins were there for dinner. Hanging out with family and having a huge meal was a great way to end the long day.
