That pretty much sums up our Memorial Day. We headed down to Fresno on Friday night after Little Miss J's t-ball game. We thought that the kids would sleep the whole way down. Little Miss J, who was beyond excited to be going on a trip, promptly fell asleep. J2 fell asleep shortly thereafter, but then cough, cough, cough, BARF. So disgusting. He was cleaned off, much to his dismay and mine, in a Taco Bell bathroom next to a Kmart (the first Kmart I think I have seen in CA) where I seriously considered patronizing to buy new car seat, rather than clean off the gigantic chunks. I may or may not have thrown up a little in my mouth just writing this. After the incident, J2 remained awake the rest of the way and didn't fall asleep until about 10:00 p.m. Talk about your ultimate backfire.
We got up early on Saturday and headed to Mariposa Grove of Trees to see the giant sequoias. It was so beautiful. The trees were BIG!

We took this action shot to help us get energized for the last 0.3 miles up to the Fallen Tunnel Tree.

| I hiked 2.5 miles up for this? |
J2 had a luxurious ride both up and back in the carrier. So comfortable that he managed a little nap on the way down.

On Sunday we headed over to my cousin's house where we brunched and lounged in the sun. These four nice adults (my cousins' kids) played endless rounds of Uno with Little Miss J and helped keep J2 entertained.

Finally, on Monday, armed with a list of every SUV that has third row seating, we started making the rounds to the car dealerships. I drove many cars, listened to many salespeople (who were in fact all salesmen), and after a beer with lunch we bought a new car! Bye bye hybrid that got 40 mpg. *tear*
And that was Memorial Day weekend Chunglund style. Bring on summer!
