took a no planned last minute trip. been super annoying with my facebook posts. my camera decided to have problems so i dont have any real pics to document it besides the ones i took with my iphone.
right now i am listening to rosie thomas + fleet foxes trying to relax and shut down for bed... here's what happened on the trip.
friday -
fly to vegas, pick up rental car, check into the stratosphere, get 3 mini aps. and 3 mini deserts in the rotating 106 story high restaurant, hit one whole side of the strip. gambling, water fountains, fire volcano show, drinks, looking at stuff, talking to drunk people. mgm for giant dinner burgers then a cab home. crash
saturday -
get up, check out, breakfast, get a flat of water and sun screen, go to the welcome to vegas sign for a pic, hop on rt 15 west, take a detour into the mojave preserve, see worlds largest joshua tree forest, go to the the kelso dunes where the ranger strongly recommends we not climb them (its 120 degrees not on the dunes). we decide hes right. watch a video. take the tour of the building, continue on until we find an unmarked mining road, drive the trusty focus up it (the ranger recomended we not do this too, but whateves.) 5 miles later in the middle of the desolate desert - lava tube. climb down. and in. through a pitch black hole into the earth. scenery in general was amazing with lava rocks everywhere. so fucking cool. buried a skull in the sand for someone else to find. drove out and on to la. went to chelle and jims. then to the santa monica pier for a walk / ferris wheel ride. home. crash
sunday -
sleep in. relaxing morning, brunch with a lot of alcohol? getty for tons of art, relaxing in the amazing gardens and looking at the huge view of LA. shark sunday at the aquarium. crazy sea lions, shark and stingray touching. dinner at a place with a giant bar on the water (i forget the name) but incredible mac and cheese. quick detour to see the queen mary and a russian sub. then over to a little park with crazy cushy grass to watch the big planes fly directly overhead as they come in for landing at LAX. awesome steam on the wings and close up chem trails. you can practically see the passengers as they roar overhead. loud. home. crash.
monday -
coffees, pack up, return the rental, hop on a plane. hop on another plane. home now. crashing now.
anyway.
its nice to have a spontaneous reminder that the only thing stopping us from the fun / things we deserve to have is the ability to put ourselves in the right position and say yes.
awesome weekend. thanks tkbs, chelle and jim.
