Not-So-Normal Mom

In January, we decided to stay close to home for our winter vacation, and we went up to LA to do all the touristy stuff. Our first stop, before we checked into the hotel, was the La Brea Tar Pits. I had always pictured this prehistoric, bubbling, hot area in the middle of nowhere. I was really surprised when we drove to the heart of LA and found the Tar Pits. It wasn't really what I had expected. Sure, it was pretty neat, and there were some spots of bubbling crude, but it just didn't have that effect that I was looking for. It was a nice walk and romp after the car ride, and we did get to see where all the magic happens. BUT-it was a one-time thing. At least now we can say we've gone.

I thought it was so sad because they had a baby on the side of this lake watching his mommy get taken down by the tar pits. Pretty sad, huh??? Anyway, the Tar Pits have now been checked off the to do list!

Peace Out,

Mom
