Well today didn’t quite work out as I had hoped. I got the kids in the shower this morning so we could get bath out of the way then ate breakfast. I did let the kids watch TV while I got ready to go for an adventure. The adventure was happening since we had to go to LAX to pick up Grammy from the airport. So the plan was to go to the kids space museum in Pasadena. Traffic was great until the car pool lane ended on the 5 and it was just bumper to bumper with no end in sight. The kids were so good in the car, no complaining what so ever (unlike me). So we finally get to the museum, 45 minutes later than I thought to find out it was closed. So crazy as I checked the website and nothing. There was a little park there that the kids played on while I figured out the next thing to do. All the things I had in mind involved getting back in the car, ugh. We finally decided to head to Santa Monica Pier/Beach. This way we would be closer to LAX and have fun. I think traffic followed me everywhere today and I think I was on every freeway in LA. On the way I am watching the temperature and it is getting colder and colder. It went from 72 to 59. Luckily I did bring jackets and I had one pair of pants in the car for the kids. We ended up having a really fun time. We walked around, played games, had lunch, fed and chased the pigeons, people watched, played in the sand, collected shells, etc. It was a nice time except a little cold. Back in the car again to go to the airport to get Grammy. We saw her luggage came down even before we saw her. We had more traffic from Grammy’s house to ours. LAX to Grammy’s wasn’t too horrible. We spent a little time at Grammy’s then came home. Dad stopped and got a pizza for dinner. I went through almost a half of tank of gas and am just beat. We just played tonight and I was ready to fall asleep at 8:00PM.
