Decidedly Not Big City Material

Well I have always said that I have wanted to live in a big city, but after my day on Saturday I most definately do not want to live in a big city and I think I would really rather not travel to a big city anymore.

My first days in Boston, New York City and now Los Angeles have been among the worst days of my life.  We flew into L.A. with the kids being a little crazy on the plane (as if that wasnt enough).  Then the airline broke the wheel off the new luggage we bought just for this trip and wont claim responsibility for it.  Then the rental car company said I was required by state law to purchase insurance after waiting in line for a hour to get a car.  Then we waited another hour for the manager and the agent to figure out who the heck was going to refund us that money.

Then we found out a relative died (sort of unrelated to L.A. but still horrible).

I swear you cant drive anywhere in L.A. and it is pointless to try.  It is the same in Boston and NYC as well so I should have just given up before I started.  All the while the kids fighting in the back of the car.  Birth Control for sure right there!

We finally got to the hotel and just stayed in, except the pizza we ordered made me sick the next day, but thats another story.

So all in all with a few other details left out it was a horrible day.  Our next day was better.  We slept in a little bit and then hurry and got read and headed out to a bus tour of Hollywood.  We saw lots of different sights in the Hollwood area and learned a few things.  One pointless thing we learned is Jennifer Aniston has moved out of he house while it is remodeled and is living in an apartment building right off Hollywood Blvd.

We got lots of pictures and ate at the Hard Rock right in the Kodak Theatre.  Of course we saw the stas and the hand prints.  It was a great time.

I will load up pictures another time.  Right now we are about to get ready for our first day at Disneyland.  Should be exciting right?!
