(fellow court-dwellers) to the airport in LA. We left on Tuesday morning and arrived around noon. We went straight to Venice Beach and had a picnic to the sound of crashing waves on some rocks right on the beach. Unfortunately, soon after opening our bag lunches, the sea gulls found us and we were chased away. We enjoyed walking down the beach, went out onto the pier, saw some shops, were offered weed twice, watched some great skateboarding, and took lots of pictures of waves crashing on the rocks before moving on to the next thing. After the beach, we continued driving into the core of LA...Hollywood. We walked down the walk of fame, where the celebrities get their coveted stars on the sidewalk. We saw the Kodak theatre (where big award shows and red carpet events are held - this picture is taken from there) and the Hollywood sign and the hand/foot prints of the stars. Nathan and I had been there back in 2007 when my family took our trip down to California, but it was fun to see it again, and especially fun to see how excited our friends were to see it for the first time. Then we took a cruise down Rodeo Drive (where the stars do their shopping for crazy expensive clothing and jewelry and shoes, and also where the "Pretty Woman" hotel is located). Once done the sight-seeing, we went back to the hotel, checked in, and went out for some supper. We ended the night with a movie in the hotel room and crashed decently early because our friends had to get up at 4am the next morning to catch their flight. The next day, Nathan and I had a lazy morning and checked out around 11am. We talked about doing some museum/art type stuff, but driving is so crazy in LA that we ended up just driving to IKEA and then home. It was a good two days. On the way home, it hit me that it's awesome that we could just jump in the car and drive down to Hollywood if we wanted to. It's only about a 3-4 hour drive to get to LA. That's amazing! And it's December and it was 21 degrees in LA! It was beautiful! Often it just feels like I'm nowhere special and that it's just still summer, but it just hit me that it's actually December and it's still beautiful and we live in a crazy fun place. Isn't it fun when stuff hits you like that? I like it. : )
