Day 1: Long Beach

I finally got around to getting our pictures from our trip uploaded and so I'm back folks...only a month late.

Day 1 was pretty uneventful, we left on Tuesday evening and flew into Long Beach.
None of us had ever flown into Long Beach before and it was definitely a new experience.
Such a tiny airport, but it was actually pretty nice in the fact that we had our luggage within minutes of landing and only had to walk across the street to pick up our rental cars.
Tyler and my Dad were are designated drivers and with good reason.
They both are a little crazy and were able to keep up with each other well.
I think Nat and Nate were a little nervous with a few of the crazy things Tyler did to stay behind my dad, including but not limited to almost getting run over by a bus.
By the time we were checked in and settled we were all starved so we went out and got some food.
When our car got back, it was a while after and my dad and his car load still wasn't back so we decided that it would be funny to close our door (we had adjacent rooms) and turn out the lights and make it look like we were gone too and we hid Nate in their closet so he could jump out and scare them. Well the plan backfired on Nate. He had to wait 20+ minutes in the closet and then when they got in, he realized he got himself stuck and so jumping out wasn't exactly possible so he decided he'd wait for one of them to open the closet and he'd scare them even more then. Once again, it didn't work as planned. My mom opened the closet, didn't see him, and ended up throwing her shoes at him. Ha...guess the joke was on him.

 Tyler was really stoked about the trip.
