We started this lovely Sunday morning off with a trip to the Huntington Botanical Gardens. It is way larger than you think. And just beautiful! Later on our drive we started searching for information on the history and we learned quite a bit. For instance, the creator married his aunt when his uncle passed away so they could merge estates and keep money in the family. Whoa. And then this incredible story unraveled telling the origins of the rail system in California and how it came to be and what part huge family names like Rockefeller played. Anyhoo, when you have a moment, I encourage you to read up on it!
We got lost on our way to Pahrump. Someone(s) posted stickers all over the road sign that would have prevented us from driving 20 miles in the wrong direction. Thankfully we had printed maps and we figured it out! There was no cell service and no people for about 3 hours. Multiple potty breaks in the desert eventually landed us at our destination! A much needed break with the Veloz family ensued.
On our way in to Vegas we stopped to see Che and family. We were bummed to have missed her wedding to Stephen, but so excited to catch up and hear the details! They are so adventurous- getting married on a Leap Day on a beautiful Monday evening. The few photos she had were gorgeous! And again, a great break with our kids running around, playing music and putting on shows like we used to when we were kids.
Our last stop was my momma's house. Whew!
