We finally made it to California OR are we in another
country?! So weird, we just went
through a customs check at the border.
Border Attendant:
Do you have any fruits or nuts?
Josh: (long stare) No.
Border Attendant:
Do you have any wood?
Josh: (mumbling “Damn, hippie state”) No sir.
(again Josh mumbling "Never mind the large amount of drugs or guns in our trailer,
I guess".) If you know Josh then
you know that we are in California because he LOVES Jenna and this is somewhere
she wanted to see and experience.
After
8 hours of driving we arrived at the RV park. I actually thought it was RV storage and I could tell Josh
was coming up with a plan on how to park this bad boy. We usually plan our gas stops based on
the difficulty to pull through and no back-ups to exit.
Josh: No
lie…..they are going to use a fork lift to put us in our spot.
Me: What in the world?!-- as I am looking around at the
animals painted on the concrete walls, to give you that off the grid, deep in
the woods feel.
The people are super friendly here and according to the
owner, also known as the guy who parked our trailer, Sandra Bullock’s make-up
artist is across from us. Several
stunt men on the next row and a few cameramen live a few RVs down. He showed us pics of the movie they
filmed at this RV park two weeks ago.
Sounds like it’ll be good, ladies –it’ll be on Lifetime.
We decided to head down to Santa Monica pier once we got
settled. But first....we must park. What does this even mean??
Ya’ll I have never seen so many people in my entire
life!! The pier was packed so we
didn’t even attempt that and you could tell the beach was slowly starting to
fill up but We Ain’t From ‘Round Here and we just assumed that all these people
wanted to be at the beach.
During dinner we found out that it was free concerts summer
every Thursday on the Pier and thought we might as well experience this while we are here.
In case you’re wondering, Khalid was the performer on the
beach. I’m pretty sure that we
were the only ones out there that had to look on YouTube to see who he
was.
It was as though we were actually swimming through a sea of
people to find a spot on the beach.
I have NEVER smelled so many different body odors at once. There were people everywhere. There
were police everywhere; on horses, ATVs, walking the beach, and flying over us
with a helicopter.
Here are a few of the things that my family's eyes cannot unsee during our
first 8 hours in LA:
I saw a man brushing his teeth while walking down the
sidewalk.
I saw 2 women having spiritual sex on the beach – I had no
idea about this until I got here.
It was pretty embarrassing and hard to look away from at the same time.
I saw a man strap a fast food cup to his face with straps
that went around his ears.
I saw people singing in the middle of the road while
homeless people 5 feet from them plugged their ears.
I saw muscle beach filled with a lot of large men working
out for everyone to see.
I saw a woman with her pet opossum climbing on her shoulder
while she petted it to calm it down.
Los Angeles, you have definitely been an interesting change
in scenery and we continue to collect these priceless moments.
Next stop, Disneyland.
