Wow what a hectic week! On Friday July 2, I had a most eventful day.
1. After a whole week of gathering support and building a web site I submitted an appeal for a re-election of our Band’s Chief & Council...
2. Got home and found my bedroom things completely re-located – apparently my lease is up and I am required to move… so my landlady took it upon herself to move all my belongings to my motorhome. Classic scene from any comedy, my landlady is my mom and I’m 41 years old… LOL
3. Then at 5:18 pm a F3 Tornado Raged through my unexpecting little community and devestated nearly all the homes in the Bay at the end of my street. We were fortunate we were unscathed.
4. At 10:18 PM my family fled the impending disaster as we discovered that there were 3 other Tornado’s in the area and an alert was posted, we drove fast to Regina and stayed at my sister’s house.
Saturday July 3 – Regina
On Saturday morning the whole event seemed surreal, I mean you read about disasters abroad or happening to strangers, It never happens to me! So all day I was in a Daze! I ended up meeting my brother’s grandson for the 1st time, he truly is a cutie lil Munroe… I went out and got travel medical insurance, I also got last minute items for my trip… It’s a good thing in my excitement to leave that I was pre-packed what with my room disappearing and the tornado, I would not have had a thing to leave with… hell I couldn’t even find my toothpaste…
Anyways I got to sleep about 10:00 pm and woke up 3 times during the night…
Sunday July 4 – San Diego
We got up at 4:30 am and left the airport at 6:00 am – Got to the Lowes Coronado Resort Spa at 2:00 pm… Long Day, hectic week, we ended up crashing out by 8:00 pm… Not much excitement other than plane turbulence and witnessing Coga’s excitement as the plane took off… He was screaming “Butterflys! Butterflys! Butterflys!” the whole way taking off! When we got to the airport we met Cory a Town car driver who was quite helpful with our adventure! Then when we arrived at the hotel, we hit the pool and then exhausted had a snoring session, completely missing all the Independence Day Celebrations around us…
Monday July 5 – San Diego – Lego Land!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The day my son has been waiting for his entire young life… We set out at 7:00 am. Cory the same driver who picked us up from the airport, drove us to Lego Land and picked us up. The whole park is quite amazing, I think we went on only 4 rides, mostly my son enjoyed interacting and playing with the other kids making structures and building stuff… there was racing, and driving cars and being in a Nerf – blaster house where he shot at other guys (anyone who knows him knows this is right up his alley) then there was the WATER PARK!!!! 3 hours at the water park! Totally the best part of the day! And then some more rides and shopping! Exhausting… but totally worth it!
Tuesday July 6 – Tijuanna Mexico!
We left for the pier at 7:15 am and were ½ hour early, so we waited and just hung out! When the bus got there we met our driver Juan and left… Juan told us many things about the Mexican history of Tijuanna and also of the Culture. We went down town and entered a shopping Market place… very high priced for what I expected… Getting through the border was very intimidating…. The Border Officer we spoke to did a thing where he looked at our Passports, swiped them and then seemed to consider them for about 5 minutes. We provided our Treaty Status Cards and he asked what they were? So I informed him and then he asked my son if he spoke his language, so my son told him yes he did, then finally after much scrutiny he let us pass… too stressful!
When we got back from Tijuanna, we went on the Big Splash – Bus/Boat Tour to visit the seals in the San Diego Bay… we were able to see the Marines base and watch the helecopters fly overhead…
Took a ferry ride home and then a taxi back to the resort… Another exhausting day…
Wednesday July 7 – Today…
Sat here and blogged, my son is playing in the room, we are just chillin, probably go out in a bit for a bite to eat then out to tour some things on our 3 day Go Card…
Should be ok…
I will blog more later…
Side Bar, we ended up going out to the beach. While we were there another family from Tucson AZ became very agitated, when Coga asked them what was up? they informed him that there was a bit of a tremor... I gotta watch the news see if there was some kind of Earth Quake... What next... Mitch say nothing to Ma as she will be too stressed out! LOL More will be revealed...
ReplyDeleteYou are right. You had an eventful week! Incredible. Are you still in your RV? Are you still doing those jobs to make money that you talk about in your intro/welcome? If you have a minute, drop by my blogs: Levonne's Pretty Pics and A Camp Host Housewife's Meanderings.
