I made my way to
YVR this morning, ready to catch my flight to
Los Angeles.
Eric was here to check my boarding pass!
Up in the air...
Leanne grabbed the same flight as me.
Here's a nice look at the snowcapped mountains below.
That's the
Pacific Ocean.
Entering
Los Angeles now!
Leanne bumped into some friends, Alana and Lucia from
Vancouver! They were on the same plane as us.
Check out Lucia's boots! Apparently, even the
Westjet flight attendant noticed them too.
Waiting for Elizabeth and Derek to pick us up...
And here they are!
After leaving the airport, we drove directly to
Santa Monica.
Heading down the pier...
We decided to have something to eat at a place called
Rusty's Surf Ranch.
I ordered their
Lobster & Shrimp Bisque in a Sour Dough Bread Bowl.
The weather was awesome today!
The waves were just crashing on the beach!
They had trapeze lessons here.
"Derek!"
Rough waters...
Posing with the waves...
Getting in on the picture...
At the end of the pier...
Monkey see, monkey do...
We began to walk towards
Venice Beach.
It's just like fucken
"Baywatch"!
Entering
Venice Beach...
Posing with the
Predator...
LOL!
Muscle Beach...
In the evening, Edwina came down to meet us at the
Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade!
Oddly enough, it was her first time down here.
Elizabeth posed with this super cute
Toy Pomeranian!
We had dinner at the
Yangtze Restaurant.
Here's the food!
This place was nice. We parted with Edwina shortly after.
We finally went home to Elizabeth's grandmother's place where we called it a night singing karaoke.
After my failed attempt at going to the Getty Villa this afternoon, I just settled for taking photos at the Will Rogers State Beach.
Their stupid reservation wasn't being sent to my email, so it threw my whole trip planning off.
Back at the Santa Monica Pier...
The Third Street Promenade...
I finally got my Malt Shake at Johnny Rockets!
Santa Monica Beach at night...
Venice Beach at night...
Bike rack...
It's a little sketchy in the evening here. After killing some time, I finally met-up with Edwina because I'm gonna be staying with her for the next couple days.
I loved these seats at the entrance of the Standard's 24/7 Restaurant.
Edwina's friend, Denise had a go with it too.
Nice lighting in here.
The girls and their Blackberrys...
Edwina and Denise...
"Oh my God, it's Ron Jeremy!!!" I exclaimed.
It was so funny. We bumped into him as we were going into the Hustler Store!
