California Dreaming








This weekend we went to LA for the Olympic qualifying tournament finals for men's volleyball.  It was pretty awesome to watch the best of the best (eh hemm.... the US) just dominate.  Canada tried, bless their hearts, but the US won the first three games so the match was in the bag.  Go USA!

With our remaining time, we spent with my little sis who lives in Santa Monica.  We went to Diddy Reise, which has amazing ice cream sandwiches you make yourself (you pick what type of cookies and ice cream you want) and... hawaiian shave ice!  Yes, I was the one who opted for the ice :)  PLUS these are only like $1.50.  Genius. 

Brendan and I also went to Venice Beach for the first time and it seemed we picked an inopportune time to experience it.  (For future notice, don't go after 6 pm).  It was slightly frightening and I'm almost positive B and I were high when we left due to the incredible amount of second hand weed smoke.  There were so many strung out and super high people mosying about, openly soliciting us for drug money.  It was pretty entertaining.  The art in this area, however, is pretty boss and there are tons of street murals and artists doing their thang so that was cool.  And per usual we hit up Newport for our beach perusing.
