We said goodbye to Charlotte, Cole, & Reece on Tuesday morning. I must admit, I felt some trepidation about spending 3 days with the boys...but we had a lot of fun playing Iron Man and Spider-Man. I especially enjoyed getting to know Charlotte. She has such a fun sense of humor.
So...Michael and I climbed back in the van and headed south to LA...straight into some crazy weather! We hit several huge dust storms where the visibility was sometimes down to 10ft. Then, in between the dust storms, we were dodging enormous tumbleweeds. You remember the "Frogger" video game right? Where the frog tries to make it across the road without getting squashed? Well, imagine that game, except with tumbleweeds 3 ft in diameter. Michael was screaming for the weeds to get out of the way...and I could not stop laughing.
We did make it to LA safe and sound...but not before stopping at Six Flags Magic Mountain. This was not in fact on our plan of events but we could see it from the freeway and couldn't resist the urge! We rode a few coasters, and then I got in line for the one that I have been wanting to ride for over 10 years -- The Superman! But in a cruel twist of fate, it rained and the ride was shut down. Blast!
At last we found Kathi and Geoffrey's place (Kathi is Michael's cousin). She and Geoffrey have a gorgeous house just north of Hollywood. Kathy seemed quite happy to see Michael, and we stayed up late chatting.
