We left at 9:37 AM, which seems to be the time we leave. The sun is shining and B is especially happy about it.
We covered new ground yesterday, and you know what that means:
Hubby and I have decided to visit all fifty state capitols. Today we stopped to grab Sacramento:
Back in the car. Among our multiple stops: a gas-and-gummy bear errand.
The weather and scenery were pretty - we saw lots of farm equipment, green fields, and happy cows. But we noticed that Coalinga REEKS. What happened in that place??
Google Maps warned us of a traffic incident that would add at least a half hour onto our travel time - an accident in a construction zone. GM Lady gave us an alternative route, but did quickly we obey? No we did not. We continued down I-5 and encountered the longest traffic jam EVER. Boooo, us!
FINALLY we reached Los Angeles around 8:00, in just over ten hours. I'm no road trip wimp but that was more than enough time in the car for me, and my family agrees.
We met up with Kristy, Steve, Lori and Teri at their hotel restaurant for some New Year's Eve appetizers...
....found our hotel (Quality Inn in Rosemead), and collapsed into bed. We have a huge busy day tomorrow!
