A SoCal Vacation

Chilled in San Pedro, CA for Memorial Day weekend. Lets recap shall we?


Friday - Flew from Sacramento to LAX. Got the rental car, checked in the hotel, and went to the San Pedro Brewing Company for some food. Turned out to be horrible food, bitter beer, and just a big disappointment. Luckily we went to Medieval Times for dinner and a show and that turned out to be pretty cool and saved the day. However, our knight (the yellow one) died!


Oh yeah, we saw Randy's Donuts.


Saturday - Had some good Mexican breakfast at a local taqueria, then spent the day at Knott's Berry Farm. Went on a few rides, saw a few shows, had a good time. Bought some things to add to my cow collection. Finished the day at a local pizzeria. Good greasy food.

Jessica apparently died at Knott's Berry Farm. Here she is in her casket.

Hanging with my home boy.

Sunday - More great mexican at the Pacific Diner. Headed to Venice Beach to see many smoke shops, street performers, and shady characters. Apparently I could have gotten a medical marijuana prescription for $40. Had to buy a t-shirt. Muscle Beach "Venice" was kinda neat too. Saw some martial arts demonstrations, as well as crazy street acrobatics.

Checking out kids who could kick my ass at Muscle Beach.

All it takes is ice cream, and Venice Beach to make a happy Jessica.

The beach was too windy to really have a good time just chilling on the sand, so we packed it up and traveled to the La Brea Tarpits. Pretty smelly stuff. Then we checked out the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Saw some cool pieces by Rembrandt, Rodin, Picasso, Monet, Lichtenstein, and tons more.

At the La Brea Tar Pits with her Wooly Mammoth friend.

Excited for the Tim Burton exhibit.

Monday - Checked out the Beaches of San Pedro. Went to the wedding at Fort MacArthur


Tuesday - Drove to LAX. Flew to Sac. Glad to be home.


Final Thoughts

1. I was a little disappointed with service in general at most SoCal establishments. I think I may be too accustomed to the sweet service almost every place in Folsom gives. 
2. Too many people, and hence, parking is crap.
3. I like the beach, but would probably pick some less ghetto beaches to be a beach bum at. 
4. Momo withdrawal. I hope he gave Batcat a run for his money.
5. I still need to do another LA trip to see a few things in order for it to feel complete.
