after about 5 work weeks from hell, I'm on vacation!. We flew into LA last night and stayed in a scary hotel. We got up early, hung around till the rental company had our car, and drove out of there. We went to Santa Monica/Venice Beach today and had lunch.Later we drove down Wilshire Blvd, crossed over Rodeo, cut thru Beverly Hills and did a scouting mission for tomorrow.I looked for Uncle Jed and Ellie May, but didn't see them anywhere. Tomorrow I'm dropping the girls off in the shopping district, then I'm going to the Peterson Museum. Thinking about heading up to Santa Barbara Sunday, staying the night, then going back down to Disney for a day, driving down to San Diego later in the week to do Sea World. Going to be quite a week.
 
Hope yall have a nice vacation Spare! My wife lived a few early years in West Covina, we've talked about going out there one day maybe.
 
by the way, I went to the Peterson Museum yesterday and it sucked!!!! I went there back in 96 and spent the better part of the day there, this time I was done in under an hour. They didn't have anywhere near the amount of cars there they used to. Go to their facebook page and read my comments
 
went back to LA, did the Hollywood tour on the double Decker bus, never seen so many weirdos. I now truly know why they call it Hollyweird. Seen a bunch of high dollar cars, seems the Lambo drop top in black is all the vogue. Did Disneyland the next day, I really liked the "cars" ride. Is it a bad thing that i realized I was pressing down with my right foot trying to beat the car in the next lane(track)? Had fun with that, packed everyone up and drove the PCH South, stopped in San Clemente, real nice beaches, drove thru Oceanside(reminded me of Jacksonville, NC) and on to San Diego. Rode around San Diego yesterday, tried to go down to the water front, but they have that whole area under construction and couldn't find a place to park, I wanted to see the "Star of India" and the Midway museum, but got overruled by the women. Ended up going to the beach so they could shop. I found a cool surf shop, although the people working there were pricks. We went to Sea World today, had a good time, the Shamu show is pretty lame now, the trainers don't get in the water with the whales any more and they stuck to pretty simple stuff. We are all getting pretty tired now. Driving back to LA tomorrow, taking an easy day, don't know what were going to get into. Flying out early Saturday morning, headed back home!
 
Sounds like you did have a good time. People watchin is a pastime of mine. Forced into it really, boredom necessitates some form of entertainment, people normally comply with a smile a minute. Have a good trip back to reality this weekend.:beer:
