After spending four days and three nights in Vegas, we rented a car and drove down to San Diego. We stopped off in Barstow where the temperature was around 102 degrees (scorching hot) and then continued on with our drive. It only took around 5 1/2 hours to get there, and even though it was mostly desert and highways, it was a pleasant drive.
Shamu Show was AWESOME

Maddys turn My younger brother and his wife paid us a quick visit to DC last week. At very last minute, Brady had a conference to attend in Chicago so before getting to us, they spent two days in Vegas with a visit to the Grand Canyon, a week in Chicago, two days in New York and then three days with us before returning home to Melbourne, Australia.
We had a blast trying to squeeze in as much as we could in the three days they were here. We visited several monuments, a few museums, Potomac Mills Outlets and the mall for last minute shopping.
Maddy says "Hope you had a lovely day and hope you got lots of presents" lol
Much Love, Maddy, Matt and Rachel xox
