Southern California, USA

On Sunday we left the trailer at a repair shop in Santa Ana and said hasta la vista until March 20. Our next stop: an Airbnb in Los Angeles.  Actually, I am sitting on the LA Airbnb couch as I type all the 2017 blog posts to-date.  

On Friday we are off again, this time to an Airbnb in La Paz for some real Southern California action. The trailer should be fully repaired in time for our return at the end of March.

While in LA you take your child to Venice Beach, right? "Mommy, what's that?"  "Oh nothing, honey... look, a skate park!"


The beach was just a beach, though when tagging the location on Facebook I almost used the popular Venis Beach tag.   Not sure what that means but I presume something tawdry.


This Venice also has canals!  Axel and I walked along the canal.  This evening he made a really cool re-creation of it in Minecraft.


Someone let loose with the dad jokes on the Venice sidewalks.

And then there was this tricycle.  I have to hand it to Venice Beach- the whole neighborhood was very entertaining.

That said, Venice Beach would not be my first recommendation for child-friendly destinations.  In the more child-friendly category I give you the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.  It turns out when you go in January you can ride the Hippogriff roller coaster over and over again with no wait.

Some Butterbeer and Mead (okay, Merlot) at Hogsmeade.  Note Axel's new Fluffy plushie.  That three-headed dog is headed to Mexico- watch out Baja because here we come.
