Should I stay or should I go?
 

GF wants to go to a friends house in San Clemente and we live in Chino (Ontario area about 60 miles north). The friends are having a baby and want us to come and visit (do in about 1 week) but they said they are just cleaning and moving things around (sounds like fun!) so I don't really want to go all that much.

But once a month I have to do a longer drive and more often than not she goes with me so I can use the carpool lane (though the time at the point of interest is only about 5 minutes and this is more like 5 hours or more).

Should I go and basically pay her back for all of the times she has went with me (San Diego traffic will suck without the carpool lane tonight) or should I just blow her off and get something (anything) done today?

Help a brother out. Keep in mind that if it is to stay I might have to prove it by allowing her to read your thoughts on the matter (so load your shit with pics of fat chicks and grannies).
