So the choir from my mom's college came to a church in whittier to do a mini-concert. We both love choir music so decided it would be worth the drive to see them. The concert was @ 7 so we left at 6, thinking that would be plenty of time to make it there to get a seat before it started. Well I was super grumpy for no apparent reason today and needed some Starbucks so we stopped at one on the way....it took a while cuz apparently our drink orders confused the girl making the drinks. What should have been a 5 min detour turned into more like 10. o well, my white choc mocha was a necessity. So then we are driving west right into the sun and miss Beach blvd. Turning around from that mistake took another 10 minutes. We are 1 turn away from our destination (a church in Whittier) on Colima Rd and traffic stops. Literally. We later found out we were 3 lights away from our last turn and we sat at the first light for 20 minutes. We thought there might be an accident up ahead and sure enough, toward the end of the 20 minutes a cop drives up the wrong side of the road. The line of cars moves 1 or 2 car lengths and then stops again. We called my dad and he said that if we could make it to the next light, he could get us to the church. So I illegally drove up the Bike lane to make the turn. THEN when we are sitting at the last stop sign and can actually see the church and the parking lot, we encounter another cop directing traffic either back the way we came or away from the church. We pull up to her and she wants to know where we are trying to get to and I point at the church and say "right there!" so she waved us through. Whew. An hour and half later, we only missed the first 3 songs of the concert and the rest of it was AMAZING!! :) Im sooo glad we stuck out the traffic and didnt turn around to come back home! So today's pic is my view from the drivers seat of the line of traffic we sat it. lol
