Long Beach

an you believe that it is the middle of summer already? The 4th of July was a blast and I hope you all had fun too. Fortunately I got to spend the holiday with my family and got to eat soe delicious bbq.

Last Friday I packed up and embarked on a twelve hour drive south to my hometown of Long Beach, CA. I had been planning on coming down but the actual date was not set and so leaving was rather last minute. Luckily I had some company for the long drive as my brother had gone up a week prior for an unexpected visit. Since I am here it I thought that I would share with you some of the fun times I have had in this city as party of my travel posts.

While walking on the pier, Patrick and I spotted this gentleman taking a nap under the sun. Classy.

We stopped by the Queen Mary but didn’t actually take a tour aboard the ship because it was way out of our budget. We hung out in front of the big boat and pretended we had a fun trip.

Well that is a little glimpse of some of the fun stuff Patrick and I did in Long Beach, I am realizing that it wasn’t very exciting. I promise there is some fun stuff to do here, I just didn’t do a good job of documenting it. Sorry for wasting your time if you bothered to read this post, perhaps I am too caught up with the warmth and sunshine that I have been enjoying. There really is nothing more enjoyable than being able to sit outside at night in a t-shirt and sill be warm….ahhh simple pleasures. I don’t think I will ever go back to frigid, cold Arcata again!
