Day Fourteen: June 23 (Mom's View)

Seriously 14 days, I doubted that I would make it but so far still here. 

Heard Reveille played by Trumpet today at 9am (unfortunately I had already been up for hours).  Cord has loved staying at Edwards AFB for the night and is eager to get the day started by going for a haircut (he finally shaved this morning; he had gone an impressive beard the last 14 days) and then the Flight Testing Museum.  He is like a little boy enjoying all of its military and aviation history.  “Cameron did you know this is where Colonel Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier.”  Cameron replied with a whisper, “Mom, who was Chuck Yeager.”  So sad!  I am so glad that we are doing this trip though because our kids will have such good American historical and geographical information.  (Hmmm what will they learn in Vegas..Hehehehehe….) 

We traveled through the Mojave desert where the temperature gauge read 113 degrees, which is crazy after years of living in Seattle area.  As we drove along guess what happened….ANOTHER FLAT TIRE ON THE TRAILER! 
We finally arrived in Vegas around 5:30pm and we set up our site for a nice long stay.  As soon as we were set up, we went to visit Uncle Tom (Cord’s uncle—Dana’s (my mother-in-law’s) younger brother.   We enjoyed playing with his Chihuahua mix pooches, Frankie and Lucy.
