Mormons and Strippers in the Horizon

It makes me ill to think 30 days ago we were waking up to the crystal blue skies of San Diego, ugh! But I will not let it become a distant memory. After all, I haven't even shared all the fun things we saw and did on our adventure.


Let's see...we last left our adventurers dining at the Green Flash. Time for the haul to Las Vegas. And well, y'all already know what happened on the way. So let's talk about more upbeat stuff, mmkay? The drive took us out on Hwy 5 towards L.A. It was very difficult to not take a eensy bitsy detour west and set up camp in the "City of Angels". After all, we were on a schedule.

"Mormon Temple, Mormon Temple!" I shouted this as Rich was zooming up Hwy 5. "Ooh, ooh, photo op!" And I snapped this photo. I wish we had known about it sooner. I wish we had stopped and taken more pictures. Did you know that when a new LDS Temple is dedicated that it is quite an event in their community. It is a very momentous occasion to be present when the golden angel is lifted and placed at the top of the temple. This, along with the stark white exterior are calling cards for the LDS structure, no matter what city (in the world!) you are in.

How do I know this? Well, I have quite an interest in other religions. Rich has an aversion to religion. Poor thing. His days in the catholic church really did a number on him. And he's not the only person I have met who has been soured because of the catholic church.

Anyway, this is suppose to be a road trips, right. Well, just bare in mind, it's my blog...so there. so where were we? Oh yeah, "Zooming up Hwy 5."

Oh yeah, California is cool alright!

OMG! I said I would find the World's Largest Ball of Twine. But never in a million years did I think the this existed. "The World's Tallest Thermometer AND a Bob's Big Boy!" Pinch me please!!!! Golly Gee what should we do? The "City of Sin" is just a short drive away. Or the "City of Polygamy?". Ooh, did I go too far? Come one, the contrast was begging for a joke like that.



Hmmm, what did our adventurers decide to do?
