i knew it was going to be a good trip right from the beginning.


and then more balloons, i could not resist.




and some strange bush.


there is a downtown, i know, i stayed there.


jodi at venice beach. such a nice girl, she makes friends where ever she goes.


more from venice...




quite the dapper bears.


how did they get that up there?


we had a great time at our friend ann's bbq...


and met some fun sisters, alicia and jenna.


did i say it was a good time? that is a bit of an understatement. ann joins the sisters.


huge plants and shopping carts what else do you expect on your walk home.


there is so much more both documented and not. thanks jodi for an amazing trip.
