After the water skiing on Lake Powell we drove back to Las Vegas, where we arrived late at night. Jennifer was kind enough to accommodate us for one night. We slept into the next day and headed then towards Los Angeles. After 5 1/2 hour trip and luck with the traffic in Los Angeles (on a Friday the 13th) we arrived in Laguna Beach.
