Los Angeles, CA

We spent the first evening in a hotel close to the airport. If you're like me, you forget things and have to relearn them. I relearnt that staying in an airport hotel is a bad idea. We had to boost.



So we found a KOA campsite over in Pomona, CA. It was still a pretty urban setting but nice to have some distance between us and LA proper. And, it made a good base for us to go exploring Los Angeles. We had to stick around for March 4th either way since Emily was to celebrate her 11th birthday at DisneyLand!







Here's a shot of our old tent which lasted 15 years but broke while there and the new replacement grand daddy 6 person tent we now live in! It's a beauty -- obviously only works for car camping though.
