Day 13- Laguna Beach, CA

Today we drive 250 miles from Vegas, through the Mohave Desert, to Southern California.  There is NOTHING in the desert.  We have been up so late and walking so much, that the girls napped in the car! Sarah slept of 2 hours!!! 

We went through a California 
Inspection stop on the interstate.  We passed!! 

After fighting multiple lanes of traffic, we finally arrived at the beach.  We checked into our hotel and found a grocery store so we stock up on food.  Except the tiny store was full of gnats and smelled like dead animals... The girls held their noses the whole time. No worries, we left without buying food!!! Thank goodness CVS sells food!!! Peanut butter, chips and salsa saved the day!!!

And yes, there are 7-11 out in LA.  They don't sell gas, but have free slurpees!!!
We threw on our bathing suits and headed to the beach.  Beautiful sand and pebble beach.  But the water was FREEZING!!! We enjoyed the 70* weather and nice breeze while listening to Amtrak pass by.  


Dinner time arrived and we rode around looking for a quaint little place.  We found a Korean/Chinese restaurant.  Delicious Korean Beef, Teriyaki Chicken and sushi!!! We knew we found a good spot when a couple of police officers showed up!!

After dinner, we walked on the pier and tried to catch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean.  We were a little late.  The sun set at 8:00 on the west coast!! We will see another one tomorrow.  
We are actually having an early night... 10pm. The blog is up to date and we are ready for bed!!!
