We took a road trip this last weekend to Reno, Nevada to surprise Dustin's dad for his 70th birthday. All four of his children showed up from 3 different states to surprise him...and did the tears flow! He was so touched! 
We had a fantastic buffet complete with delicious prime rib and a dessert bar that beats all. We went to a baseball game in the new minor league baseball stadium (and the Reno Ace's won!), where Dustin caught a shirt that was thrown into the stand...turns out it just happens to be
MY size! We had cake and went swimming and had a ball. Dustin's family is so warm and loving. They have a real gift of being able to laugh at life, and that is so relaxing to be around. The kids even had fun listening to the John Bytheway CD's that we played for them. For any family, I would recommend these for a long road trip! Thanks for the suggestion Tina and Margie! I have to admit, the thought of taking all 6 kids on a road trip was daunting, we've done it before, and it does not come without it's hardships. Honestly, the dynamics of a blended family are just down right hard sometimes...but we were very pleasantly surprised. The kids did great, and thankfully, so did the parents. A wonderful time was had by all!

Look at this big beautiful family. Your kids are looking so grown up!
What fun... Dustins dad is handsom, just like his son.
You took all the kids?! Holy Cow - I even talked to you while you were down there - I thought it was a fabulous getaway with no kids...What a fun mom and stepmom you are! Love you Nic!
Dustin's parents are so cool, glad you could celebrate with them!
