We planned to leave our house for the LA/San Diego Trip early in the morning on Sat. 7/18; however, Ha was invited to his best friend, Ben's birthday party on 7/18, so we decided to leave after the party was over, which was about 2pm. The party was in Golfland, and since all the parents left their children alone in the party, I went home to pack for our trip, too, so as soon as Ha came back, we could head to LA immediately.We left our house around 2:30pm, and Stephen drove highway 85, 101 and 152 and part of highway 5. I continued to drive the rest of highway 5 for about 2 hours, and then, Stephen drove the hill area and drove to the city. This way, each driver could get enough rest and enjoy the scene around the highway. On our way near Gilroy, strong garlic smell went in the car; we saw a beautiful lake and mountains along the way to LA; and the kids and Stephen took a nap while I was driving. I really enjoyed driving on Highway 5: high speed and few cars.
Even though we stopped in McDonald's for around 30 minutes, we still got to LA at about 7:30pm. Thanks to Ran's parents for letting us stay at their apartment in Monterey Park, we didn't have to look far for Chinese food for dinner. We had fried rice, fried noodles and a tofu in a Chinese seafood restaurant nearby, and it was good. Kids were happy for the dinner. For some reason, these ABCs always like to order Fried Rice and Fried Noodles in the Chinese restaurants,真是沒品味！
After dinner, we went straight to the apartment to have a good night sleep. One funny thing: I liked to put our dirty clothes in a plastic bag and bring back home to wash when we were on the trip. On that day, I also collected all the trash in another plastic bag when we left the apartment. I told Stephen that one of the bag was clothes, but he didn't pay attention to what I said. The next day when we were in the hotel, I couldn't find our dirty clothes bag, and we realized that he had put both bags in the big garbage can in the apartment.

So he threw away one bag of your dirty clothes? I hope none of anyone's favorite was in the bag. I like driving on highway 5 too. We pretty much took the same pattern like you and Stephen. He drove first, I drove about 2 hours, then he drove again from Bay Area to LA.
Luckily, our family didn't care much about what we wore, so everyone was fine with this accident.
Yes, it was a good pattern, so each driver wouldn't be too tired. It's too much to drive all the way from Bay Area to LA or San Diego.
How's your family doing back home? We stayed home the whole day today. They just enjoyed playing at home.
好快啊，你們已經回來了。
