Filming has started

We have arrived in Socal. The drive should've been 8 hours if we were driving at the speed limit....but Cali has a special law for vehicles pulling trailers....55mph always. So that killed the time. Plus the extra passengers made rest stops and food stops longer so that killed the time. Then We hit LA area and the last 26 miles took over 2 hours!! There are people who do this every morning and every night...can you imagine that commute?
As we rolled into the hotel parking lot the video ameras started rolling on us. It's a little weird being shaddowed by cameras and sound guys and a producer. But it is fun. For those of you who don't know Discovery Network is venting us for a possible serries. We will be followed, interviewed and then our shows taped. I must admit that after the long drive all I really wanted to do was crash and sleep. BUT, after things started moving along I got into it. So did the kids. So did the wife.
The whole crew was very nice.
The producer had us do some prelim videoing of our own. So we filled 3 tapes with all kinds of stuff......preparing for the show, the drive, getting ready for bed, everyday life at home, etc etc.
Well, it's shawer and bed time.....night night!
