DayTrippin'

For those of you thinking about moving to LA and those of you already here... it is a great city to live in for the access to the surrounding multitude of activities and adventures provided by living here. There are many day trips to take advantage of.

This past Saturday, after completing a move-in inspection, I hit the road at 1 pm. Drove 40 minutes north on the freeway and exited to the back country roads. Took myself through beautiful mountains and pastures to Ojai, a quaint town with some wonderful shops and a TOTALLY laid back atmosphere. Back in the truck, around Lake Casitas and up to Santa Barbara, after a quick stop in Summerland to check out the antique shops. A early, delicious supper sitting outdoors on State Street in Santa Barbara. A stroll afterwards just taking in the lushness of Santa Barbara. Back in the truck again to head home with a pit stop in Ventura, to give my good friend, Eric a smooch and a hug. Onward down Pacific Coast Highway and back within the environs of the Gaylord by 9 pm.

Go south to San Diego, east to Palm Springs and the desert or hit the slopes in the local mountains still. All within a few hours drive. Or hit the beaches from the South Bay to Malibu. Just get out there and experience the various lifestyles afforded by living in Southern California!
