We got up this morning and kept on our trek home. We saw some incredible sights. Including a FLOCK of cows. Yep I said a FLOCK of cows. Well, actually M said it. We have spent a lot of time in the car on this trip and lots of talking talking. And of course with my kids you never know what will be said.

The beaches are incredible there!!! I never wanted to leave. It makes me hate Washington state even more.

We saw seals and birds and and and ... It was just awesome!!!

The view is just awe inspiring. The kids were so speechless.. Then I looked and they were sound asleep.

LOL!! Seriously he is not asleep but we were messing around like usual and I couldn't resist. But imagine a 6"2' son crammed in the back seat of a Chevy Cobalt. He was cramped. There was also a cooler and both sisters!!!!

We used GPs to our advantage. We could find lowest gas prices to our location. We found several Costcos and Aarcos this way. When we pulled out of Costco in Someplace Ca this was across the street!! J was like please stop I am hungry. I was like I am out of monies. He was like my treat!! I was like oh heck yeah!! So we ate there too. The food is so freakin cheap!!! A full on meal for under $5.. And hte funniest thing I found was they only serve like hamburger or cheeseburger. We have 3 peeps in our family who don't eat beef. So we ate fries and had milkshakes. It was a nice break for the rest of the trip home.

We drove for way more hours and then watched the sunset. We woke up in an Oregon Rest area then finishd up our drive and had lunch at home.
All in all a really good trip. Gas was less then $130 each way. I did pay for the car we were in. I did not have to pay for hotel. The boys here did. We just stole some space in their rooms. We very rarely ate out. We did splurge and get a Gumbo bowl in Disney. Surprisingly it was only $9!!! That could not be passed up.We ate continental breakfast in hotel. Made sandwiches for lunch from home. We brought cases of water and case of soda. It did not cost me that much. It was worth every penny we spent though. I wish we had more and could of done legoland. I wish we could of afforded to eat out too. It got old real fast to eat a sandwich and cup o noodles. We made those in the hotel too with the coffee maker. This is how we did Disney for 3 People for less then $500 out of my pocket.
We have decided we want to try and go back for Christmas break. M really wants to see the Nightmare before Christmas stuff. She is an addict. We are sewing and selling dresses on ebay right now trying ot fund it. We would drive down again and just stay at another cheap motel. We would have to buy tickets this time and we want to be able to afford to eat there. So if anyone wants to contribute to the take my kids to Disney fund we would accept. If you or someone you know have a timeshare there for that time and wont us it let me know!! We really want to go back. M has has some tough times in her life at her young age. She has had 4 years of really crappy birthday's and this has been her one thing she wants. This would be my kids one and only Christmas present and they are cool with it. We have figured a budget of $3000 this time. I am guessing Hotel would be around $75 a night. I have been searching several trip sites. We would figure $150 for gas each way. I figure $100 a day for food this time. Tickets are $100 a person on base. We would also use the legoland tickets so that is another hotel for 3 days. Also we want to stay in a hotel each way instead of sleeping in the car. So since thats what we want to do lets see how close I can come to this goal. It will be most interesting.
