En route to San Diego

We got off to a late start today. Not because we weren't packed and ready to go, but because when we were in the car and on the road at 10:20am. It was then that Tyson noticed that the brakes on the car were grinding. When we filled up with gas he checked them. Sure enough, the brakes were bad. So we went back home, got out of the car, and waited for Tyson to change the brakes. What should have only taken him 30-45 minutes took much longer. He has never changed the brakes on the Excursion and he said that there were a couple metal clips he didn't know how to get off or what they did and he had to search online for a YouTube video to show him. Technology is wonderful, isn't it?! But not only it took longer because of the clips, changing brakes with a couple broken ribs didn't help. It was painful for him. Well, 1:30pm we got back in the car and was finally headed to San Diego!
We got to the Marriott Residence Inn about 7:45pm. I was excited that it was a hotel that has 2 bedrooms, a pull-out sofa bed, and a full kitchen. We pretty much just unloaded the car and got settled.  I had pre-made dinners so it would save us money and be easy at meal times. I warmed up some taco meat for burritos and then we got ready for bed.

I'm just glad that we arrived safe and that Tyson was able to fix the car.
