Our first stop was Venice beach. Seeing as it was the day after Memorial day, and it wasn't that nice out, we stopped for a bite to eat on Main street called The Omlette Parlor. The food was so amazing that we all made happy plates. Unfortunately, I made, what at the time seemed like a stroke of genius decision, to order a Bloody Mary to accompany my California Bennedict eggs while sitting outside only to discover the restaurant serves no alcoholic beverages. You can imagine the disappointment.
With full stomachs we walked along the water of Venice beach and got some sun while we could because there was still much more to see.
We drove back to the city to accomplish our more "touristy" stops. When we pulled onto Hollywood blvd, it became immediately apparent that there would be nowhere to park so we did what anyone else would have done...We parked the car illegally in one of the tour bus loading zones, jumped out of the car, took some pictures, (bought my magnet), and got back in just as someone on his high bus told us to move immediately.
After enough traffic for five lifetimes, we went back to the hotel to take advantage of the rooftop pool and jacuzzy while the day was still nice. While up there, we met two very cool Londoners named Jodi and Mikhaela with whom we caught up with later that night for some drinks. However, little did we know they were accompanied by a living legend...
Leonard Herring Jr. has been an esteemed member of society for decades. As a world class athlete in tennis, he has used his popularity for humanitarian efforts all throughout the nation. Thanks Leonard.
A few drinks later and we retired for the night for our drive to San Diego the next day.
