Checked into the California Suites hotel this afternoon. An older hotel in a residential/lower income area, but the room is clean, there is a fridge and a pool, and everyone is very friendly. They even have internet access (obviously since I'm posting here).
Yesterday was the big haul; 12 hours on the road, but we made it to Leslie's parents house in San Gabriel by about 1630. No accidents that had us stopped on the interstate unlike the last couple of times down. Since I was going to spend only 1 night with the family this entire trip we all agreed to go to our favorite Mexican food place, Ernie Jr.s; we go there at least once every time in LA. Best Mexican food I've found.
As is normally the case after packing late and driving early I crashed about 2100 PDT and didn't stir until the kids were chasing each other around the house this morning about 0730. After getting them situated and visiting for a bit I abandoned Leslie and the boys there at the house and headed South, down the I-5.
After unloading my stuff I drove over to the course to check things out. Today was free entrance for anyone; especially to the merchandise tent which is huge and full of everything you can think about putting the USGA name and logo on. I looked around, bought some things for the family, and wandered back to the hotel through La Jolla and University City, with a quick detour to the San Diego Temple.
I realized I forgot my camera cable, so tomorrow after my shift I'll see about finding one so I can upload some photos!
