California trip update!!!

We had a little delay...Aylah got pink eye and had an allergic reaction to the first two medicines. Third one's a charm though! It all worked out though because we ended up leaving town the same day as Davey and he wanted us to stay with him as long as we could. He is currently at Ft. Irwin at NTC (national training center) doing his pre-deployment training. His plane ride over made a stop in Vegas and he could see the MGM Grand from the plane..was he disappointed he couldn't get off the plane. He then flew to Victorville and took a long bus ride to Ft. Irwin with about "80 people and a police dog" his words! Us girls had a little mishap on our road trip. We ran out of gas!!! We hit a 100 mile span of "no services" and I had 102 miles in my car, but apparently my car doesn't count gas correctly because we still had 35 miles to go to the next gas station when we ran out. We pulled into a rest stop and waited 2 hours from someone to bring us gas. We were supposed to make it to Vegas, but we stopped an hour and a half before to sleep..we got tired. We are now in Vegas spending the day with my brother, Clinton and tomorrow with my Grandma (the girl's GG) Shirley. We will be in Ca on Sat.... Hope everyone is having better luck than us!

Well, at least Aylah is doing better- I have been praying for her. At least there was a rest stop nearby so you weren't just chillin' on the side of the road!! :)
