30 minutes

That's how long it takes to get just about anywhere in the valley...IF the beginning and ending locations are close to a freeway, AND you don't have any crazy traffic. This is only true if you know where you are going. If you don't then it might take longer, like maybe a full hour. Let's say, for instance, that you go to 16440 NORTH 32nd street way in the heck out off the 51 and Bell road. THEN the address isn't there and there isn't a school anywhere to be seen. So you look at the scribbled note your mom wrote and see the "s". Mom? Do we need to go to 16440 SOUTH 32nd street? Well, ya, duh. That took 30 minutes. 51 to the I10 to the 202, off at 40th street, shoot down to 32nd and a half a mile north to the high school. Tasha took a nap, we were 10 minutes late but the show didn't start on time. Thanks mom for the Nutcracker experience, next time I get the directions.
