Ok we made it to Los Angeles and found that we left the computer at home!!!!  real bummer.  the hotel computer is not good at down loading pics so they will come later.
Los Angeles is insane the traffic horrible.  We stayed at a hotel 10 mintues from our starting point, Sears up the street from the Santa Monic Pier and it took us 55 minutes to get there!
We went from over cast  beach 50 degrees to hot desert 95 degrees.
We ate at the Addlin a route 66 attraction and a very nice place.  We saw tons of stuff.  I'll post pics as soon as we get our computer we are haveing it expressed to AZ to meet us.  I know crazy but we are!
