Day 1 - Groundhog Day

Well today was Day 1 aka groundhog day/nightmare/horror day! So we had our naps and I got everyone up around 4:00pm LA time. We got ourselves freshened up and caught a cab to Culver City Westfields. It was a short 10 minute ride.

We headed to Target first to grab some car seats for the kids. I scored a pink Cosco Scenera for Peyton and a Graco Turbo Booster for Brandon, coming to the grand total of $70. I <3 Target, the best novelty was the cart (shopping trolley for the players at home!)



Limo trolley!!


Even Mum had a go


 We then headed over to the new Disney Store and Brandon did a Ridemakerz and built a Mater. It was pretty damn cool. Then off we trotted to Best Buy to score ourselves a GPS we picked up a new Garmin for approx $120 the same price as it would've cost to load the maps onto our one from home!

We then started trying to get a cab home... That was an adventure! We couldn't find a taxi rank so Steve went to ask someone. He was informed by security there was none as it was not really a safe enough place for Taxi drivers to want to hang around :O So he called one for us and told us to wait and it would be 15 mins. 40 mins later it was getting dark and some very interesting characters were walking around. It was a little unnerving.  Finally a cab drove past and I flagged him down. We made it back and popped next door to Sizzler for dinner. Nothing to write home about but it filled out tummies. We trotted back to the hotel and I packed up and we hit the sack.
