Today we hit Santa Monica pier and hired some bikes to ride from Santa Monica to Marina Del Rey. We had planned to ride to El Segundo Brewery but from Marina Del Rey it was still a 45 minute bike ride, which in itself was not so much of an issue, but given we then had to get all the way back to Santa
Monica, was a bit ambitious. So we returned the bikes and drove out to El Segundo to sample Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Broken Skull IPA. Well Pete sampled that, I had a cherry cola made from all manner of natural ingredients. It was pretty good too.
Our car is in here somewhere…
After this, we figured we could do with some more retail therapy and so hit up The Citadel. It was crazy town here! Every food shop had about 20 people waiting in line to be served. The carpark was like Westfield Tuggerah at Christmas time. We stalked some prospective car parks and before too long scored a park. I guess my time at Newcastle Uni has paid off afterall! J
Later in the afternoon, we headed to Griffith Observatory. We had not had the opportunity to visit this place last time, and it was well worth the trek up the hill. It was bustling with people and given it was a
sunny Sunday afternoon, no one could blame them. People were set up with picnics and all. The view over the city was awesome and an added bonus was a sideways view of the Hollywood sign.
Bidding farewell to Memphis, we continued west to Oklahoma. Yes, there is a song about that. Yes, it was playing in my head for much of the drive. Ooooooooklahoma, where the sun comes sweeping down…
Massive day of driving today, but it was necessary due to us locking this accommodation in before we got the tickets to the basketball in Oklahoma for the Monday night. Long drive, but a very…
This morning we hit the canals for our swamp and alligator tour. Pete was kinda disappointed by the lack of toothless swamp people and beards, but the tour was amazing. Junior is a second generation…
Today started with a quest to find a pair of shoes for me to wear with my new dress as I only had two pair of joggers and a pair of thongs/flip flops for the…
A positive of getting out of Washington DC so early yesterday, was that we avoided a 10 hour driving day from Washington DC to Nashville. We ended up only 250 miles out of Nashville which…
The trip to DC is probably best summed up by Pete. “Washington can go f**k itself.” For starters, we should have known it was going to be a tad dodgy when we had our car…
