Well, actually we came and went! Robby wanted to go to California before he started his mission. So, we packed up and drove Friday night to Primm Valley (40 minutes outside of Las Vegas - California side) and got up early Saturday and drove the rest of the way into California. We stayed at a hotel near Marina del Rey and Venice Beach, which we really loved. This guy in the 1800's had/bought this beach area and traveled to Venice, Italy. Loved the area and tried to build his beach the same way (you'll see pictures). It didn't work out, probably ran out of money and gave it back to California. California calls it Venice Beach! We loved it. It had a board walk with several different vendors and the beach area was great! We also took a tour of L.A., shopped on Rodeo Drive (which they were very nice - went to Niketown, of course). Went to Kodak Theater, where the Oscars were held the day before. We drove there Sunday late afternoon and got as close as we could. We saw all the Limo's driving in and the traffic cops were also dressed in Tux and white gloves. The biggest thing Robby wanted to do is see a game in the Staples Center (well he really wanted to see a Laker's game, but they weren't playing). So we got tickets to the Clippers game and got to go inside the Staples Center!!! Clippers won (they played Golden State). Tuesday, we went to Disneyland and spent the day there. We started to get bored (I think we've been there too many times). But we stayed until it closed! Then Wednesday, we drove back home. Stopped in Mesquite to see my good friend, Lou (I used to work with her and we both quit - I for another job - Lou for Mesquite). We didn't stay long, but we did see their new home that they bought! I'm coming again, Lou, when I can stay longer. It was a lot of fun and enjoyed spending time with just the 3 of us (of course we missed Rachel and Travis). We decided that when Robby returns, we need to spend a week with all.
