- Good morning clan.
Welcome to Friday.
It's Friday,
and we are packing up as you can kinda see there
there's a big pile of,
actually you can't tell, there you go,
we're forming a pile of our crap,
because that's what it is, crap.
Tiff and the kids are about to take Baby
to a pet hotel where she will reside for the week,
and I'm going to start loading all that up into my truck.
As I said last night,
not looking forward to the six hour drive.
Why aren't we flying?
I asked Tiffany that this morning,
why aren't we flying.
She goes, "Well, because we need the bikes."
And I'm like, "I have no problem renting bikes."
So maybe next year we'll just fly,
because the drive is going to suck.
[Clintus] Alright Baby, we'll see you in a week.
Have fun with the doggies.
She's excited, she loves leaving the house,
she has no idea where she's going though.
- [Tiffany] She has no idea.
- [Clintus] She's not going to be excited when she sees it.
- She's gonna go to the pet hotel a be all, "What the heck?"
- [Clintus] She won't be that excited
when she sees all the other dogs like,
"Oh no not this place!"
- She's good for a week, all her dog food.
- [Clintus] Yep, alright.
Alright we are packed up and on the road!
Who's excited for a six hour road trip?
Nobody!
You know what though,
the destination,
the light at the tunnel in six hours is all worth it.
- So we're playing this game
that mommy has on her iPad that's for road trips,
where you have to look at everyone's cars,
and see what state they have on their license plate,
and then there's a little list on her iPad on the game,
there's a little list,
here you guys can see,
and it has each of the states,
and so every time we see one of the states,
we mark it off.
So what we've seen, Arizona of course,
California, Tennessee,
- [Bryce] Tennessee.
- What else have we found?
Nebraska.
- [Bryce] Nevada.
- No we didn't find Nevada.
We found Nebraska.
Didn't we find Indiana?
Yeah Indiana. - [Bryce] Indiana.
- So we haven't found a whole lot,
but we found a few.
- [Bryce] Now we're doing a - [Tiffany] A word search.
- A word search
- [Tiffany] Cookie.
- [Bryce] Cookie.
- [Sierra] We're doing desserts.
- [Tiffany] Is cookie not one?
Back-lava.
- [Clintus] Baclava. - [Bryce] Found it.
- [Clintus] It's a Greek dessert.
- [Bryce] Why is there strudel again?
Mom.
- Zombie, is that what you want?
- Zombie Apocalypse.
- [Sierra] We're about to leave Arizona
and go into Califorina,
but we have to pass the Colorado River first.
- [Clintus] There it is.
That's what cuts the Grand Canyon right there,
that's what makes the Grand Canyon.
- [Sierra] Wow. - [Clintus] Isn't that cool?
All the way from the Rocky Mountains.
Of course when you pass California,
you have to be checked for agriculture,
even though they don't really check us anymore.
They just waive us through, "Oh yeah,
"you look, you look fine
"you don't look like you're carrying any
"fruits or vegetables, or illegal aliens,
"or animals or anything like that.
"You look fine, you look fine."
And just like that we're in California,
entering pacific time zone.
We just left mountain time zone,
now we're in pacific time zone.
And it looks the same.
So we made our way to Indio, California.
Made a quick stop to grab some lunch.
I gotta stretch my legs man,
I gotta adjust my seat in my truck.
These long rides, my right hamstring kills me,
it's the position of my foot to the gas pedal or something,
because it's only my right leg.
I don't know what it is,
but my hamstring just kills me,
I'm so uncomfortable,
but we got an hour and a half
to an hour and 45 minutes left to our destination.
Figure if that stretch,
I need some caffeine so I'm walking over to Starbucks.
- [Bryce] What are windmills for Daddy?
- [Clintus] The wind blows them,
and it makes electricity.
All these windmills are making electricity,
and look there's all those solar panels.
So big, it's so big.
Tiffany's taking over for a little bit after lunch,
giving me a break, let me catch up on things.
There's the Cabazon dinosaurs.
Rawr!
Brontosaurus back there, a little T-rex action.
Yeah.
- [Bryce] What are these?
- [Clintus] Those are onions.
Okay guys,
so we made it to our destination,
Best Western in Westminster,
kind of off Riverside so to speak,
I don't know exactly,
but in any case, we're going to be staying the night here,
we check into our beach house tomorrow,
we got a pretty setup though, check this out.
We got conjoining rooms with Mee'ma and Papa,
and two queens in both sides,
so most likely it will be me and Tiff,
Jack and Chrissy,
and the kids will probably stay with
Mee'ma and Papa in that bed there.
Just did a speed test on the internet here,
and the upload speed is as fast as my home internet,
10 megs up. (laughs with pleasure)
I'm so excited,
if it can contain that, if it can be consistently up,
the vlog will upload like it's supposed to at my house,
super quick, less than 20 minutes,
and so I'm super excited about that,
it means I don't have to worry about editing tonight,
and worry about getting it up,
it will get up so fast,
it'll make my life a lot easier for sure.
Hopefully the beach house wifi is comparable.
I'm betting on one meg, but if it's like five I'll be happy.
As usual, Best Western,
not bad, not shabby.
We got a nice looking TV we got a refrigerator,
coffee maker, microwave,
and this is our patio,
which really isn't a patio,
just a walkway out the pool which,
we can't complain about that.
The kids already found their way to the pool,
so lets go out there and see what they're doing.
- We made it and we're at our hotel just for a night,
and then tomorrow
we're going to make it to our beach house.
- [Tiffany] You guys are already ready to swim.
- Yeah. - Yep.
- I'm gonna be a man and jump in.
- [Sierra] It's a little cold.
They say it's heated,
which it's definitely heated compared to like,
- [Tiffany] It's only five feet here,
it's not as deep as Meema and Papa's pool.
One, two, three.
- Wooo!
- [Sierra] Cold? Cold?
- Cooooold.
- [Tiffany] Is it cold compared to Meema's?
- Yeah.
Actually I'm going to guard this one.
- [Sierra] Oh I know why,
because you don't want to step in them.
- We made our way over to Taco Surf
for a little dinner action Baja cantina style.
Check out these amazing tacos I got.
Taco trio.
I don't even want to eat em it's like artwork.
Kids got some tacos, enchiladas, burritos.
The girls are sharing a quesadilla,
quesadilla burrito.
Live entertainment.
- [all] Lock, and load. And go.
- Well guys we made it back to the room,
and everyone's winding down,
getting their comfy clothes on,
pjs and whatnot, getting settled in for the night.
Hope you enjoyed today's video,
be sure you give it a thumbs up,
tap the "i" in the sky for the last three year's videos.
One year ago we went to some old mine town,
and got a tour of an underground mine,
first time I've ever been underground like that.
Pretty crazy, pretty scary if you think about it.
The stories the guy told about how miners
worked and everything, kinda crazy, check that out.
Two years ago,
look like Sierra and Bryce were over at
Chrissy, Jack and Mason's hanging out with Mason,
probably,
I guess that makes sense I was working at work,
so kids were there babysitting.
Three years ago,
I took the kids to Playgrounds for the first time,
which is an awesome cafe/playground,
indoor playground kind of like Chuck E. Cheese,
so check those out in the cards, links down below,
and we'll see you guys tomorrow,
as we head off to Newport at our epic beach house.
Vlog on.
