San Diego - SUNDAY





Sunday....BEAUTIFUL DAY!! We got ready and then headed into LA. We found the Hollywood sign...posed for many...many...MANY pictures. On the way to the sign, we took a windy road and enjoyed the awesome houses and greenery! After we left the hollywood sign, we again took windy roads and Heather (who was driving) got a little sick and proceeded to throw-up on her jeans and then out the car on the side of the road. I kicked her out of the drivers seat when she felt better and brought her somewhere to clean up. We started to head to Venice beach (I was driving) and we passed a Maserati...beautiful black and fast! We chased him to get pictures (of course). We arrived at venice beach and collected sea shells....Felicia did a "Baywatch lifeguard" running move on Venice. I got into a "fight" with a wave fully clothed and the wave won...leaving me drenched from my calves down. We people watched and giggled at the people, Felicia was a tourist that fell for the "Got a few seconds to listen to my demo, wanna buy it?! How about you give me your number mama and I will be doing good" but she didn't buy it and she didn't give him her number. We enjoyed the shops and then went out for some delicious steak and seafood before we headed into Hollywood to walk Hollywood Blvd. We shopped, explored, and eventually met 2 guys (Brady and Keith). We had coffee with them and then went to this posh bowling alley (seriously posh...they had a DRESS CODE!) to play some pool.....we explored until we were tired...too tired to drive home and then I (the worst nighttime driver EVER drove us the 100+ miles home. Well...I can't stay away driving when I am that tired and I started to doze while driving...which resulted in me swerving a wee bit and attracting the attention of a nice CA state trooper. Yes...yes I got pulled over...and he had this crazy megaphone thing and was shouting directions to me on where to pull over, where to turn, and eventually where to park the car. It was crazy. Once he realized we were tourists and that I was just tired he ran my license and let me go. I then made Heather and Felicia stay awake to keep me up...but Felicia couldn't and fell asleep. Heather and I sang crazy songs loudly to keep ourselves awake. It was a PAINFULL drive...but we made it and then slept in on Monday.


Yes, we took a picture in the car while driving to LA :-)





The Maserati we chased down!





Venice beach was really windy at night...





After I lost to the wave at Venice beach...it was a wet and cold walk back to the car to change!





Felicia with her BAYWATCH move :-)





Our dinners...Felicia had live lobster, Heather had crab legs, and of course I had burnt filet mingon (NO PINK!) with baked potato dry :-)




One of the many stars we enjoyed ;-)
