We have arrived in Palm Springs safe and sound after a 13 hour journey. Luckily, Abrielle was an ANGEL and was either happy as a clam or sound asleep.
We set course for Great Falls at around 12:30 on Monday and got there with plenty of time before needing to be at the airport. Tyler (being the sweetie that he is) surprised me by taking me to Baker Bobs. Baker Bobs is a little sandwich shop in downtown Great Falls that has amazing homemade breads, soups, sandwiches, and baked goods. We have only been there once, and that was when we went to Great Falls to celebrate our 1 year anniversary back in 2008 (how time flies!). We made it there with about a half hour before they closed and had some amazing (and cheap) sandwiches.
We then walked around the downtown, which is quite old and full of historic buildings. We happened upon a cute little pet store where we played with some puppies. At the very back of the store there was a huge glassed in area with about 5 monkeys in it! None were for sale, they were just residents of the store. I was too scared to take a picture in the store because there were a million signs telling you what you couldn't do, so we settled for one outside the shop.
Next we headed to the airport and hung out for about an hour, and then we were off to Phoenix! Abby seemed to be really excited for her first flight, but apparently that enthusiasm died quickly.
Here she is with Tyler, watching the city lights as we landed. Talk about 2 peas in a pod.
A quick change into her jammies and we loaded up our rental car (free upgrade! Boo-yah!) and set off for Palm Springs. Tyler's parents called us and offered to put us up in a hotel for the night (so sweet!) but we gratefully declined and set course along the freeway. First, we stopped for some snacks. Now, here is what I love about the states. I got myself 44 ozs of Diet Coke for the low low price of $0.79! How can you beat that deal?
We arrived in Palm Springs at about 1:30 am, Abby still sleeping like an angel in the backseat. Coming here is almost like coming home. We know and love the area, and I automatically feel happier just being here.
I don't know that I will be posting too much over the next two weeks, but I am going to sign off with some crazy cute pictures of my little beach baby!
