As it gets closer to baby coming, we decided we'd better take the chance to take one last "just-the-two-of-us" vacation so the first week in June we headed out to Southern California. We took 2 days for the drive 2 full days there and 2 days back- stopping in Vegas. It was a fun break and we really enjoyed ourselves-- even if it wasn't long enough :)

| The Las Vegas Sign |
 |
| There is a free 10-minute 3-D movie at the M&M store |
We stayed in Vegas and got to swim and play around a little bit there on our way there and back.
One of Rick's requirements every time we go through Vegas is a stop at Cane's. Apparently it's a pretty popular place in Louisiana and he misses it a lot.
  |
| Cane's Chicken... we had to stop both on the way there AND back. |
On our way home we also went to the M&M and Coke stores on the strip. It's a fun place to visit, even if we ended up with some melted M&M's by the time we got home.

| Millions of M&M's! |
While in California we stayed with family in Redlands, went to Venice Beach, watched the Dodgers play (Thanks to an awesome Aunt who got us the tickets!), visited Downtown Disney and met a good friend there for lunch (including yummy beignets!) , ate lunch with more family in Huntington Beach, visited Grandpa Myers' grave, and went to the Redlands Temple. Listing that all out makes it seem like we were super busy, but really, we just hung out and relaxed for a few days. It was a great way to start out the final countdown of the last 4 weeks of being baby-less.

| Downtown Disney! Don't be too jealous of Rick's Tow-mater hat or our Beignets! Mmm... |
 |
| The Dodger game... they lost and we paid too much for food, but it was still super fun! |
|

|
 |
| Baby's first beach hang out... literally that's what we did- lay on the beach all morning. It was great! |
 |
| Don't mind that it was pretty windy- but so nice! |
Thanks to family who let us stay with them, eat their food, and those at home who stayed with the dogs! (I'm pretty sure King and Judi wouldn't leave our side for the rest of the weekend after we got home!)
Since we've been home we've been super busy with getting the room ready, baby showers, along with work and school... wish us luck in the final 4 weeks!
