(I drove in downtown Jax by myself for the first time this week...although, driving in LA by yourself is a lot more impressive!!)<br /><br />Your off-the-charts awesomeness continues as you continue to school LA how to be uber-cool!Trishellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07700533877787512263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274237968120146104.post-13297018433244911462010-06-16T00:19:09.888-04:002010-06-16T00:19:09.888-04:00I hated the LA freeways both times I lived there a...I hated the LA freeways both times I lived there and whenever I visited. I lived off the 10 in Claremont and the 101 in Agoura Hills but we had to take the 405 to the temple from the 101 and I would rather take the 1 because it was less horrid than the 405. (And much prettier view.) <br /><br />I'm having flashbacks. That's a vivid memory from C's birth, having to take the stupid freeway to the hospital and praying we didn't die on the way. But Kit says driving my parents' full size van into Paris made LA traffic look tame - I wouldn't know, I was covering my eyes on the road into Paris, too. :)<br /><br />All that to say, HOORAY - congrats on conquering the LA roads!!!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371671630524713784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274237968120146104.post-82405630524954773012010-06-15T14:40:41.320-04:002010-06-15T14:40:41.320-04:00Cool, Abby!

I think the only reason I was so calm about it was that that's where I learned how to drive on freeways at all, so I knew nothing different, really. Poor Mom, though. We had a lot of *gasp* moments when she'd put one hand out to me and the other hand to her heart and sit there panting out the adrenaline overdose...<br />and I'm not a bad driver.Qaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090577030703367345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274237968120146104.post-47306588479876958952010-06-15T12:44:47.088-04:002010-06-15T12:44:47.088-04:00Tiff - yep.

Last night was the 60 and the 57. We took my sister Maddie to Disneyland and Eric met us there after work.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095104147841657129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274237968120146104.post-47575706613805276372010-06-15T10:36:55.127-04:002010-06-15T10:36:55.127-04:00I'm going to assume by both your fairly decent...I'm going to assume by both your fairly decent mood as well as Jean's "shouldn't be afraid" comment that the both of you have yet to tackle the 405...Tiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335187399790707418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274237968120146104.post-39220700027228517712010-06-15T09:52:03.918-04:002010-06-15T09:52:03.918-04:00From your Nervous Nellie sister, WOW!

(I'm assuming that it was Eric driving down to Orange County.) Wow!! How is that even possible?? And secondly, GREAT job on tackling them freeways!!!! Now you're a pro. And you shouldn't be afraid of rush hour -- it's pretty much just like waiting for a traffic light to turn green. (Hahaha!)Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684571923138041077noreply@blogger.com
