We made it!! After 5 days of driving, Ellen and I finally made it to California! What an amazing trip! We went through Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern California. I knew that we could do it all along, but I think it's still a little unbelieveable that we just made such an awesome trip! We've seen every kind of beauty you could imagine...rolling green hills, the desert at sunset, mountains that seemed like they came out of nowhere, city lights at night, and the flowing waves of the ocean. Wow...we live in a beautiful place...I took tons of pictures, so I'll post the link for those once I post them on Facebook which probably won't be until this weekend since I have limited internet access, but stay tuned! :-)
So...we just finished the most incredible road trip, but we're still only halfway through the trip, lol! Last night we saw
(500) Days of Summer at this really cool old restored theater that was built in 1938...I think it was called the Lido Theatre...great movie, too. We spent today lounging on the beach, getting completely sunburned. There's an amazing bike trail to get to the beach that takes about 20 minutes, so we've been utilizing that yesterday and today. We decided to just take it easy today after the past 5 days of driving. Tomorrow we're thinking about hitting up the San Diego Zoo...we've been told that it's one of the best zoos anywhere, and we're definitely animal lovers, so we're going to try to make that work. As for the rest of the week...nothing's concrete, but we're definitely going to be dorky tourists and check out Grauman's Theater, Rodeo Drive, and the Hollywood sign, lol. Maybe a Dodger's game, too, while we're at it. :-)
It's been a pretty awesome vacation, and I'm so glad Ellen asked me to do this with her. I think she's going to love it out here! California is pretty hard to resist... :-)
Hope everyone is doing well!
Lots of love,
Amelia
