Gwenny and her kids

We drove thru the desert on Friday from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.  The car registered temperatures between 105- 114 degrees in the desert. The ride ranged from casino after casino to the emptiness of the desert.  

If you remember my trip 3 years ago, I told the story of being stopped by the fruit police when entering the CA border.  So during the ride Kurt and I devoured the fruit we had in the car.  We didnt want all our fruit to be confiscated.  We passed the border and to our surprise there were no fruit police.   Kurt thought I was crazy, but at I least I had a witness last time. Thanks Sharon Hornby!

And then about 20 miles later what should appear?  A California agriculture checkpoint.  Kurt starts to scurry around trying to hide our two apples as we pull up to one of the check stations, and...  No one is manning the booth.  Empty - must be cutbacks!! So we keep on truckin' to LA and ate our apples in defiance. Haha...not really, we were just really hungry.  

As we see the Hollywood sign, Gwenny was starting to get very excited.

 After all, she was going to see her kids.  Jessica texted us and told us it felt like Christmas morning.  It was a great reunion.  Gwenny even got a new kid...she loved meeting Lauren.  

It is always lots of fun hanging out with the kids. Well worth the 3850 miles we just drove.
