California Trip

Work out place at Venice Beach.
This is Ryan's creative photography work (above) I like the pink flowers, this is right by our hotel.

Us at Hunington Beach Saturday night










Ok, this blog is for Penny since she said my last blog entitled "Updates" was no longer valid, which she is right about. So, last weekend Ryan's company was sending him to Anaheim to film a covention for one of their clients and I decided to tag along at the last minute. A very good decision on my part since we left slc on friday morning and an hour and half later we were in 83 degree weather with palm trees. We stayed at the Hilton Hotel where the convention was right next to Disneyland. Our room actually over looked part of the park. Friday afternoon when we had checked into our hotel we walked to this outdoor mall place and ate at the Cheese cake factory for a late lunch, so yummy. Then unfortuantely for Ryan he had to go do some work for a couple of hours and I relaxed at the pool. That night after he was finished we went back to the outdoor mall did a little shopping and ate at this old fashioned hamburger place that cost as much to eat there as it did for us to eat at the cheese cake factory, go figure. Anyways, sadly Ryan had to work all day on Saturday starting at 7am and wasn't done until 6pm that night. Meanwhile, I leisurely slept in, went to lunch with my bro Orson and then we headed to Venice Beach. (see Orson's blog for additional photos) which was really cool. The weather was sunny and nice, we walked on the beach for a while and then walked along the boardwalk, saw some street performers and some weird people and a bunch of ways to "legally" get marijuana for medicinal purposes if we had been interested. Then we headed back to the hotel picked up Ryan and decided to eat dinner at Hunington Beach at this mexican restraunt across the street from the beach. It was so hard to leave the next day, I was beating myself up for not planning better so we could have stayed another day. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to go back again. ...
