Cali day 1-Venice Beach

We left PG at 5 am on Saturday...that totally sucked!!! I thought our flight left at 7...it really left at 7:40 so we were really early to the airport. And we got on the plane with no problems. We went straight to one of our favorite places. Venice Beach. Where we took naps on the beach with all the hobos, I was soooo tired. We walked around saw some freaks and Joel bought me a really cute hat. After seeing all the weirdos we could we hit up the beach. Then it was on to our favorite hotel...Joel's Grandma Ginny's house. Its cheap and no reservation is required. We thought we were going to have to postpone the trip so we did not tell any of Joel's relatives in Cali that we were coming. Grandma Ginny got a call from Burbank telling her we were there for 8 days. Ooops. Good thing she loves surprises.
