July 3rd The Beach!!

July 3rd The Beach!!

So it was a long day of driving, but we are finally here! It took us two hours once we got into L.A. to get to our cousin Phil’s house. I won’t go into the driving, it was really boring. We did see Big Sur and the surrounding areas. Big Sur was this beautiful vacation spot on the coast and it is being destroyed by fire. The road was blocked from going into the town and you could see the fires on the hillside. We didn’t know the road was closed until we got there and had to turn around. That section of highway one is some of the most beautiful coastline in CA. So, we did get to see some of it. Once we were in L.A., I took a really long, desperately needed shower. It is great to take a shower that is longer than six minutes and that you don’t have to pay three dollars in quarters for. We ate at this really great Mexican restaurant. Of course, EVERY restaurant on these beaches is really good. We walked around Hermosa, Redondo and Manhattan beaches and then drove up to hillside and looked out on to the coast. It was a beautiful site.
