I'm down. I was thinking of driving down, but bringing MLP would be great too! My doggie in LA probably won't like riding cupcake so I'll still have to drive a car down regardless. I hear the best day to drive down is xmas day. I wouldn't mind staying for New Year's but I'll have to get back to you on that and see if I may have to come back up sooner since I know I'll still be paying for this trip
