We arrived in LA around 9:15. It is two hours ahead of Texas. We had reserved a shuttle; however, we forgot to print out the passes. So the guy told us that when the shuttle guy got here, we could see if he would let us on, but he couldnt make any promises. So we waited and waited and got tired of waiting so we went to try to get a cab. We waited and waited, realized we were standing in the wrong spot, went to the right spot, waited and waited, finally got a cab and headed to the hotel!
We got to check in at 10:30, which was nice. We unpacked a little bit and tried to head to Santa Monica. We planned on taking the bus/metro, whatever was available. We waited and waited and waited for the bus. Finally, we called 5 different rental car places and found one that was open on a Saturday. We then called a cab company and waited and waited for the cab. We made it to the rental place and we have had a blast since then!!! No more waiting on public transportation!!
We headed to the Farmer's Market and the Grove, which we loved!!! We ate lunch at Marmalade Cafe at the Farmer's Market and then headed to do some shopping. We spent a couple hours over there and then got in our fabulous rental car and drove around LA. Here are a few pictures from our adventures....
Shops at the Grove......huge American Girl place to the left and huge Banana Republic on the right.

Eating at Marmalade Cafe.....
For dinner, we ate at Dolce, which was really good. It had awesome decor. The bar was constantly on fire. After getting four hours of sleep last night, probably less, we were too tired to do anything after dinner. Speaking of, I am heading to bed!!
