We spent a good part of today on the 405 and it was not fun.
I had to be up at 7 after a very late night, so after the dog walks I went home for a power nap. That got us going down South a bit later than we would have liked, but we were still going to be within the time frame.....or so I thought.
Google Maps showed Green the entire way, so why the F were we at a standstill? It took us an hour to get out of Long Beach and another 1/2 hour to get to the point where we realized we would never make it there and back again and bailed. We finally found the multi-car accident and the muli-lane closure and, since we were almost at South Coast Plaza, we decided to have a meal there.
(Insert brief happy interlude of brunch and shopping.)
Back on the 405 to make it back to LB for a dog walk. More traffic, another multi-car accident, back up to speed, then a police break on the other side of the freeway so another multi-car accident could be moved to the side. At least the return trip was only a little over an hour.
Apparently, today was NOT a day for us to be traveling - or seeing friends and celebrating new abodes.
