They all were rather hungry so they stopped at a popular burger joint, In n' Out. The almost family also made their way through treterous winds and chilly air across the parking lot to enjoy some Red Mango parfait. Minus the blue berries. Sad day.
After this pit stop they continued on their trek to see the lights. As they neared their destination the roads became icy and the sky brought down little flakes of white. Brrr. They still continued onward in hopes of a fun expedition.
Upon arrival, they found it very difficult to 1, see out the windows, and 2, find a parking spot. After driving circles upon circles they eventually found somewhere to park and it was only 3 or so blocks away. They made their way through blistering winds to the lights.
It was a beautiful sight to see! Well, when they could keep their eyes open long enough without freezing their noses off their faces. They enjoyed the warmth of the north and south visitors centers which helped to dry cold and wet little toes. The baby was sound asleep through this entire journey. When the family made it to the south visitors center they decided to get the pictures they had wanted with the lights while inside because daring to stand in the cold much longer could result in illnesses.
Despite the cold, the wetness and all the falling white flakes they had some fun and baby got lots of "cute" "adorable" "awww" comments.
They made their way back through the blistering winds and block after block of snow covered sidewalks to the car safely. The ride home was not easy though. The ramp to the freeway was jammed with traffic, making it hard for the little car to make it up the hill with snow and ice covering the roads and tires. They saw accidents and cars on the side of the road but luckily they had a great driver by the name of Aaron who got them all home safely. Some even got a few naps in on the way.
It was quiet the adventure but it was fun none the less :)
