California Day 4

On Sunday, we once again woke up later than we should have, but that's okay! We originally wanted to go to church at Saddleback on Sunday morning, but it was an hour from where we were staying, so we decided to go to the Museum of Tolerance instead. This museum has a great Holocaust exhibit, and Rob and I have greatly enjoyed our studies of the Holocaust. We recently learned about this museum from the movie Freedom Writers, and we decided that that's what we do on Sunday afternoon.

So, we ate brunch at Denny's again. There was only one other white family in the whole establishment, that was a new experience for me. We did a little shopping at Target to gear up for the rest of our trip and we stopped at Starbucks (see Rob's blog). We also dropped Rob's tux off at Men's Warehouse and went to a grocery store.

Well, I guess by the time we did all this Titus was tired and cranky and didn't want anything to do with... well, anything. We got on the freeway and missed our exit, so we had to improvise by taking the next exit and trying to back track. By this time Titus was irate, tired, irritable and... well... screaming at the top of his lungs. He couldn't be consoled for anything.

So, eventually after feeling desperately lost Rob pulled over and pulled Titus out of his car seat an snuggled with him in a small patch of grass on the side of the road.

I couldn't tell from the AAA tour book whether the museum closed at 4, or started doing it's last tours at 4. Since it was already after 3 we decided that if it closes at 4 it's no longer worth the effort to try to find it. I bit the bullet, used some roaming minutes and called the museum. Good news, it's actually open until 6! Bad news, the Holocaust section was under construction. Yeah, well, maybe I should have called BEFORE we set out on our wild adventure!

So... we ended up here... which wasn't such a bad detour!
Yes folks, I can officially say I drove down Rodeo drive!



This says the Beastie Boys just in case you can't read it. I was taking all of these pictures out the car window as we were driving!

Titus eventually fell asleep and we slowly made our way to the hotel in Anaheim. When we got to the hotel Rob looked up where we had been in relation to the museum. We were running parallel to the street it was on, only a few blocks away.

Oh well, it was an adventure!
