LA Vacation

Mac and I took a long weekend to go down to LA, mainly for my friend's wedding, but also for a nice little vacation.

I took Thurs. May 26th off to pack and clean the apt. It's always nice to have a clean apt. when you get back. I did enjoy that when I got back. Mac had Lee take care of Momo for the time we were gone.

Friday, left to Sac International Airport. Had BK for breakfast, and I was impressed with their breakfast. I thought it was even better than Mickey D's! Flying down was quick. Took a Hertz shuttle to pick up our car rental. We got a white Toyota Carolla with a nice GPS which we didn't pay for, but so glad it was there since our GPS was still thinking. Not sure if it ever worked down there. Mac had to drive the car the whole time, which was fine with me. At hotel, we rested and napped and then went to Medieval Times in Buena Park. Mac had not gone there, so it was a must see. It was fun booing the other knights. We had the best cheering section. Oh, for lunch, went to a brewery, but was the worst beer ever, worst burgers, and worst service. Boo. San Pedro is the place to go for thrift shopping.

Saturday: spent the day at Knott's Berry Farm. It was a nice day, but also sunny and burnt my scalp. Went on three rides, but they were good. Saw a few shows. Got some good souvenirs. Went to pizza that night which was decent, but not the best...

Sunday: Went to Venice Beach on an extremely windy day. Went all down the rows of shops. Got ice cream. Must have been 20 or so marijuana "doctors" who looked shady as Hell. Went to the Brea Tar pits, but saw a museum, and decided to go there first. We briefly went to the tar pits to say we saw it. Not too impressive, but a good side trip with the museum. I loved the art and artifacts at the museum. They had a Tim Burton exhibit, but it was sold out and I was sad. If I had known about it, I might have pushed for us to go to the museum a lot earlier. We got home late, so went to Mickey D's for dinner. Pigged out.

Monday: took a walk to the San Pedro beach, went back to relax. I was so tired, since we have done so much. Went to the wedding. Perfect weather for the outdoor ceremony. Saw a friend from college, saw other friends too. We left early since it was late getting started.

Tuesday: got up early and went home. Came back to rain. Kinda sucky on that part. I rested the rest of the day.

Wed: last day of vacation. Rested, cleaned, awesome day at home. Glad to see Momo. Mac will post some pics of the trip.
