Long Beach

Spending the past week in Long Beach with our two youngest sons was a blast. It seemed like we would never get there but after two full days of traveling we finally arrived on Monday morning. Completely exhausted and overwhelmingly excited to see our boys we “crashed” at their place for two full days. The rest of the week we were able to get out and see the town, even though there were a couple of naps interspersed throughout the day.

We toured Long Beach and Westwood. Spent a day at Huntington Beach followed by In and Out Burgers. Ate two dinners at Out Back, one with Aaron and one with Ben. Were treated to an awesome dinner at Rock Bottom. Shopped with Aaron all day Thursday and had Chick-Fil-A for lunch (Aaron had coupons). And topped off the week by visiting Revolution Church and going to Ben’s improv show at a small studio on Hollywood Boulevard.

Long Beach was an interesting and entertaining place. The 12 lane highways were always busy and I pondered the irony of these freeways compared to the 14 miles of road in Sitka. Everywhere you looked there was a vast sea of people. It was as if we were treated to one last crazy dose of humanity before departing for the isolated less-populated town of Sitka.

Enjoy the photos, I only wish I had taken more.
