Red Eye

Wow, it's been a day. Yesterday we decided that we would fly to Pennsylvania. We wanted to get out here and check a few more places out. It's definatly been a trip. I have been watching plane tickets prices and they have doubled for the next two weeks because of the holiday. I couldn't even find any tickets until next Saturday. Most flights over the next week are booked. The rest of them are 1000.00+. So when I found a good deal on tickets we decided to come out (and it was a direct flight both ways). I have been watching these tickets for about two weeks. We still paid about double what they have been going for, but half of what they are now. Anyways, we are here and I am glad.

We drove to Vegas yesterday. We got on a red eye flight around midnight. It was a four hour flight so we got to Pittsburgh around 7:00AM. Lets just say, even though we were on the exit rows with twice the leg room... there is no way I can sleep on airplanes. Blah. It was one of the shortest nights ever though. So we got our rental car. While we were picking it up the lady asked if we wanted to upgrade for $5 a day. We could get a Toyota Carolla, PT Cruiser or a Mustang. We said, "Nah, we'll take the subcompact". Wrong answer! Take the $5, take the $5!! So we walked out to our Chevy Aveo. You know those commericals that show the 5 huge basketball players getting out of the Aveo. HA HA HA! We couldn't even fit out luggage in the car! We finally got it situated and in the car. The car is quite dirty... and on the window is this sticker!

Ewww!! Nasty! I want to take it off because it grosses me out, but I can't make myself touch it! Gross!

So the car is.... interesting. The seats are horrible. There is one cup holder that neither front passanger can reach. There is one arm rest on the drivers side... The whols car is just akward. And it's Yellow! TAKE THE FIVE DOLLARS! Ha ha! Just kidding. It is alright. It will serve it's purpose. Sadly enough I am thinking... man I wish we had the Saturn again! LOL!

So gas is pretty cheap out here. At least cheaper than Utah. $2.89

Well we got to our hotel around 10AM. We were exausted and just plain tired. So we talked the front desk people into letting us checkin at 10 instead of 3PM. We got to our room and crashed! We slept until 3ish. Then we went to Walmart and drove around for awhile. We went to the Eatn'Park for dinner. It was good, I was surprised. Then we got back to our hotel to plan the day. I crashed again around 7:00 and woke up around 10:00. Those red eyes are a killer! But I feel like I have wasted a whole day!

Heading off to Vegas, Baby!!

So today we are heading off to Vegas. We are pretty excited. We are leaving when Dustyn gets finished with school. (And I finish packing!!) But we are staying at Carrie and Rodney's house tonight and then they are taking us to the Airport in the morning!! Then we are off to Pennsylvania!! YAY!! We are so excited. Carrie and Rodney are always way too good to us and are always willing to take us to the airport or let us crash at their house! We owe you guys... come to Richfield!! :) Just Kidding!

Hopefully Hilary will be flying home with us on Sunday to stay for a little while... but she's been kinda sick from her Surgery last Thursday.. we are hoping she feels better soon!

Oh yes.... and my stupid eyes.... most of everyone knows that I have sensitive eyes that breakout and itch and get really sore to the point of not being able to wear makeup. Well they have been doing so great the past two months or so. I was sooo excited.... and what happens yesterday/today.... they break out and are all swollen and sore. Stupid eyes! No make up for me for the next month... sorry Hilary. You'll just have to deal with the scary me!!
