I am totally exhausted, but at least I made it to work.
Nickolas had a good time. I think I did too, but right now just too tired and sore to know for sure.
I feel really bad for the other kids. They only had around 2 1/2 hours at the Aquarium before they had to get back on the bus and head for home. The 2 boys that were with me and Nick still had a chance to see everything, even if it was breifly. Since we had been there before we played tour guides. After the kids got back on the bus he and I went to eat and then back to the Aquarium to spend more time with the birds and sharks.
The drive home was very frustrating. It took us 90 mins to go 15 miles on the 405, so I finally got irritated and jumped off on Wilshire. I then played, "Oh, I recognize that street name." Eventually we were on Hollywood Blvd. It was around dusk. We enjoyed the nightlife that was coming out to play, mixing with the white-bred tourist crowd.
We ended our day at City Walk. I can honestly say that I have no real desire to go again in the near future. I feel claustrophobic there, with the narrow walkways and too many people. I also finally realized that stores fall into one of 2 catagories. Either they are the same stores you find in your local mall or they are the same store cloned over and over again (ie: cheap souvineer stores).
We were back in the car around 8:15 and were home by 9:45.
By 10 I was in my recliner with a heasting pad on my back and 2 rats attacking my hands.
