Niether Cordie or I had been to Los Angeles before and this was my FIRST time to California (seeing more than just the outside of an airport)
My eldest brother Michael lives here and good friends of ours from Rochester just recently moved to the area as well. We are more than happy that after our 18 hour+ day of traveling from Florida to get here we stopped over for a couple of days instead of going straight to Australia.
The first morning we went for a nice walk with Jordan and her dog Roxy than had some amazing sushi for lunch down in Huntington Beach. 
We walked over 5 miles on Friday and it felt great… stretching our legs after a long travel day and before another one!
From there we headed back up to the LA area and celebrated Elvis’s 2nd Birthday – at an amazing dinner party with wonderful company… We both had an absolute blast.
Saturday Morning we took advantage of the Finches’ backyard soaked up some sunshine and had a very relaxing day before we went on to bike over 13 miles.
Brandon, Cordie and I biked south of Huntington Beach to an area called Balboa Beach – the boardwalk is next to some pretty spectacular houses and of course a view of the ocean will never get old.
Later that evening we went out for dinner with Jordan & MaryBeth at this place that has cotton candy! How great is that?! It was nice to have a ‘different
Jordan cut and colored mine and Cindy’s hair on Sunday – She did such a great job and her salon experience was amazing!
Before we flew out to Australia Michael took us to Hollywood Blvd then up to see the Hollyood sign as the sun was setting! It was so cool to see LA at that time!
