Just a couple of photos from today as we packed up and got ready to get back to Arkansas. The Santa Anna winds were apparently blowing around and blew this huge eucalyptus branch right off and it landed on top of the hot tub! We had just talked about getting in it and can you only imagine how awful that could have been???

Last official photo to post before I pack the camera away for the airport. Following this truckload of oranges on the freeway...not a sight you see in Arkansas for sure.
Traffic was extremely heavy today. As usual, even though we allowed plenty of time, it seems that we start feeling anxious about getting there and getting checked in and all.
We are bringing back the exact things we took over except for a stuffed turtle we got at the Monterey Aquarium for Reid and a tiny "my first Hard Rock tshirt Los Angeles" for Reid. Too funny when we realized we didn't buy anything for anyone...not even ourselves...but for Reid!
It just seems that our dirty clothes weighed more than the clean ones did coming TO California. We got our rental car returned and made it to the airport shuttle. In just our small group that rode to LAX, I don't think any of us spoke the same language. I think Steve and I were the only English speaking folks. So amazing!
We made our way through checking in and TIME TO CELEBRATE! The bags were within the weight guidelines. Settled in to our seats for the two and a half hour direct flight to Arkansas.
And fortunately, Reid stayed awake just to see Nana and Papa.
A perfect ending to a great vacation.
