Trip to LA

Just got back from LA, it was a great trip. I went with my mom and little sister, who's sole motivation was to meet Dylan and Cole, which is the poor man's Mary-Kate and Ashley from the "Suite Life" on Disney. We did eventually go to a taping of the show where she got to walk around the set, and then she got to meet them, I took a short video of the encounter.

We did a whole lot of driving all around LA and checked out everything. My favorite drive was most definitely up the Pacific Coast Highway, which goes right by the ocean and can't be beat when you're in a mustang with the top down, good times.

We even drove down to San Diego, and beyond to Coronado. Traffic is pretty nuts, a 5 lane highway and it's packed, go figure. Janet always found a way to go shopping whenever she could, and got plenty of clothes. Myself, I picked up a tiny camera to better capture videos and pictures on my Hobo travels, as well as a couple harmonicas to make some music along the way.

I liked LA though, everyone is pretty laid back for the most part, there was a whole lot of street music, even more so than new york as there were certain spots you could go that would just be packed with different styles. Things are generally pretty expensive it seemed though, and a lot of "image" stuff going on. The only other downside was how spread out things are with a lack of public transportation. I'd rather not have to deal with a car.

Oh yes, and In-N-Out burger, now I see what everyone has been talking about. Definitely the best 'fast food' burger I've had, and at a fast food price. Still can't compete with the Shake Shack of course, but they're in two different burger classes anyways.

You can check out all the photos I took in picasa web albums here, or just check out my favorites I posted on Flickr here. You can also check out the other video I took of the one man jam on Santa Monica Pier.
