LA

Catalina was entirely too much fun. After Laura, Mom and Megan got their medals, we hit an eariler ferry back to Long Beach. At this point, Mom was exhausted. This may have been the only time she was exhausted the entire trip.

We made it to the parking lot, only to find that we had left the interior lights on in our van. Yikes. It was totally my fault, but Mom called her Canadian equivalent of AAA and there was a man there trying to sell us a battery within 15 minutes (not bad). We declined the battery purchase and were on our way after he jumped the van.

That night we made it (barely) to the LA Temple. We realized that it was the first time that all of us had gone to the Temple together, so it was really cool and I'm glad we were able to make that happen. It was also the first time I'd been inside that Temple and it was pretty awesome. By far the largest one I've seen!

Finally the time arrived to get on the shuttle to go to the boat. Laura could NOT contain her excitement and grabbed Megan in a lovely side hug. It was SO exciting.
