Heading Back Home

May 8

We had breakfast in our hotel room at MGM Grand…Hawaiian bread, peanut butter, banana, Starbucks coffee which Dek bought downstairs as the room does not come with a coffee maker…must be a contract with Starbucks… there was a long line for coffee.

We checked out at around 9:30 am and shopped around before heading back to home-sweet-home. We went to M&M’s store, the chocolate company. Dek bought a couple of chocolate dispensers for himself and Jared. For lunch we had Nathan’s hotdog, which was really good.

We left at around 11:45. Stopped at Baker for gas and decided to stop at the Alien Jerky store. Its signs are all over the freeway billboards. The store is alien-themed…Dek bought 3 different kinds of beef jerkey made from cows that were abducted by aliens.

We had another lunch in Barstow…Popeye’s fried chicken. Next time around, we’d probably stop at the Outlet area of Barstow vs the Barstow Station. The outlet area is a much cleaner and quieter place.

We arrived in La Mirada at 4:30 pm.
