MTTS 2012 7/14

The next morning sis and I headed back to the Saguaro Hotel for the rise & shine rally. We arrived at the hotel around 8:30am and got our spot in line.
Atori with a few other minis, we were parked on a side street but still in line.
Lubos, decided to take him on the trip with us. He got lost of love from the mini folks.
A video of the minis, I'm at 3:21
The drive began at 9:30am and the long line of minis were escorted by the police to the freeway.
taking the 101 to the 202 and then the 10 all the way to L.A.
Arrived in L.A. around 4pm, made a quick stop at the Rose Bowl but most of the actives were over with by the time we arrived.
Our hotel for the night was Hotel Palomar, located in Westwood right next to Beverly Hills. I really enjoyed my stay here and would most likely stay here again. Best part, there was no pet fee.
a look at the bathroom
Our room for the night was on the 17th floor, Room 1710. This was our view.
