FLAGSTAFF-TO-VENICERoadtrip Day 3: June 7th We didn't arrive to Venice Beach until 8:30 at night. It takes approximately 8 hours to get there from the Grand Canyon, but we were able to keep ourselves entertained When we finally got to our rental house we were tired, cranky, and had some issues with our location... 1.) We shared a wall with a bar: It was incredibly loud & there were people and bums hanging outside our house. 2). The fence surrounding our patio {which faced a busy street} was only 4.5 feet tall so when Diesel stood on the hot tub deck his chest was over the fence {ya, I freaked out}.

Still waiting for the owner to get there with the fencing we decided to enjoy the weather out on our newly sodded patio and we noticed a looong line of cars piling up & people crowded around the taco truck parked across the street; we took this as a sign, walked over, and placed an order. While waiting a HUGE gust of wind caused my dress to blow up "Marilyn Style," and I flashed anyone that was looking in my direction {thank goodness I was wearing boy-shorts}! Shortly after the embarrassing “wind up the dress,” fiasco our order was ready. We set up shop on the table outside and devoured our tacos, they were delicious! It was a great way to start the day. Around noon the manager of the property, John, came over and applied the bamboo fencing so we could finally leave the house. We started it by walking down to Venice Beach where I got my nose re-pierced, checked out the skate park, Cody got a "work out" in, shopped at American Apparel where I bought Cody these amazing green jeans, matching Venice Beach T-shirts, & 2 amazing tops just for yours truly, watched funny street performers put on a show, & toooons of people watching!
Los Angeles AdventureRoadtrip Day 5: June 9th When Cody & I travel we pack as much site seeing in as possible {vacations are not for relaxing; they're for experiencing} and day 9 was no exception.
We ended our meal by eating a Maple Bacon Donut {which sounds better than how it taste}. They have MUCH more impressive and tastier desserts on their menu that I suggest you get instead. Second~Griffith ObservatoryWith full bellies we proceeded to meet up with our amazing friend Clyde who grew up in LA so he became our tour guide for the remainder of the day Third~Hollywood SignThis is the closet point to snap photos with the Hollywood Sign. You drive up a very tiny windy road, it's next to the city's reservoir, Madonna's house is on one side of you, and the house in the distance has been in countless music videos AND is the one Drew Barrymoore hung out of in Charles Angels II Last~ All These Places
Going CoastalRoadtrip Day 6: June 10th Since we were gone so long the previous day we wanted to do something with the puppies, so we packed the truck with beach essentials, loaded the dogs, and headed down The PCH to explored Malibu and the insanely gorgeous landscapes & even more insane houses We also drove through Pepperdine University {I can’t believe people get to learn there}. The views those students get to see every day are incredible and the grass reminded me of Dr. Seuss books!
After taking a quick nap & spruce up we headed out to Santa Monica Blvd.
After being thoroughly embarrassed we took a ride on the iconic Ferris Wheel: It took me a while to calm my nerves {I’m super afraid of heights} but I found looking through a camera lens helps! Farewell Los AngelesRoadtrip Day 7: June 11th
