Elder Russell M. Nelson taught, "As temples are prepared for the people, the people need to prepare themselves for the temple."
James went to work and I studied my scriptures this morning. Around noon we too Lexy to Sears to have the oil changed. We walked over to the mall and had lunch at Hibachi San. I also had one chocolate covered strawberry. I took a picture at the mall and and put it on Facebook and labeled it as "the great and spacious building."
It was cool and overcast today. We picked up Max and then went to pick up Addy but had to have some Lola time before we left.
Lola is so lovable!
We had a prayer and were on our way after 2pm. We stopped to go potty and get a snack in Quartzite. I told Max and Addy that alot of the people who come here in the winter are "rock hounds." The thought that term was funny.
As we continued into California it began to rain. We stopped at the Sizzler in Banning for dinner and it was raining like crazy.
Max didn't know they had shrimp until we were leaving. It is one of his favorite foods!
We got off the I-10 onto the 60 and then went south on the 57 to Orangewood and over to the Embassy Suites on Harbor Blvd.
There was a large group from Japan but the guy at the desk assured me they weren't anywhere near us. Our room number is 1023. This is a great hotel but they need more elevators. Addy and Max played Jack the Pumpking King Uno most of the way here and played again when we got into the room.
They are dying to know who the murderer is in our book "For Elise". I was reading it on the way here and they were interested.
Although there are two beds in our bedroom Addy and Max both stayed in the "living" room and slept on the hideaway bed.
Max's mom took him to lunch before we left town.
