Southern CA Driving SUCKS!

Now I remember why I don't ever want to move back to the L.A. Basin... the driving absolutely sucks. I drove down from Sacramento today, taking I-5 the entire way. Until I got to the 405... which I then got on to get to my dad and stepmom's place in Huntington Beach. 7:00pm at night, and the traffic is stop and go as soon as I get on the 405S. At least the commuter lane helped a bit. But sheez!

We had bad traffic all the way from the start of the 405 until past the 105 (Like 40 miles).

Don't get me wrong, I still love the region for the beaches! But the traffic is HORRID. It took me 2 HOURS to get to their house from the start of the 405. Ick.

Speaking of beaches, I plan on going down to Huntington Beach tomorrow... rumor has it that there are swells of up to 15 feet expected. And no, I am NOT planning on surfing! Just looking! And taking a lot of pictures.
