We have been having a blast here in LA

We are so glad that we made the trip here to LA. The weather has been perfect and the gas plentiful and from what we here less expensive then back east. I guess our timing was pretty good. We traveled with perfect weather the whole trip leaving after Gustav and ahead of Ike. Both of those hurricanes were in the path of our trek west. I guess the travel God's were on our side.

One of our goals to do here was to attend the Bill Medley (Righteous Brothers) concert on Sept. 12. This was the opening act for the season and the start of the programs that Adam as the Managing Director for the Performing Arts Center at the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, CA has put together. Bill Medley puts on a great concert and was a great start for Adam in his new job. He has a busy season ahead that offers something for everyone so I am sure that this year will be a big success for the college. We couldn't be more proud of Adam's accomplishment.

We have been enjoying our time with Adam, Alma and Amanda. The time seems to be just flying by. This past Sunday we took a trip down to Mexico. It only takes about 4 hours to get there. Of course with numerous pit stops we need to add a little time to the trip. We drove down to Encinada for lunch and then found a condo/hotel on the ocean to spend the night. We got one heck of a deal on a three bedroom, two bath unit for $110 for all of us. The views were incredible. It was the so enjoyable to just hang out and enjoy the scenery and the sun set. We stopped for a lobster lunch in Puerto Nuevo on our way home Monday. It was fantastic.

Our plan is to leave here Sunday to start the trip home. First night will be Flagstaff, AZ and will be stopping in Santa Fe, NM on Monday for two days. We then leave on Wednesday for home. We should be back in Georgia by Oct. 4th or 5th. We sure hope the gas situation is better by then.

I am having trouble attaching pictures for some reason, but I will post some of them in the near future.

Miles of smiles.
Charlie and Andrea
