A Day in L.A. - Part 1

Muscle Beach Venice, California

Hubby and I spent one day in L.A. with my brother, mom, and step-dad. Our first stop was Muscle Beach Venice. At the souvenir shops, we purchased key rings and fridge magnets for gifts to take back to South Africa with us. We watched some bodybuilders showing off and kids on skateboards doing jumps. We were only there for an hour and I still managed to snap a few nice photos.

Fiesta and Casa De Reyes in Old Town

Family and friends who gathered in La Jolla for my grandmother's 90th birthday spent a few days around her birthday doing fun things together. Old Town, San Diego was one memorable outing. We arrived late afternoon to enjoy an early dinner celebration with her at Casa De Reyes. My husband ordered a Coronarita (a margarita with an upside-down bottle of Corona), which got all of us laughing as we passed it around. It was really good!

Old Town, San Diego

Family and friends who gathered in La Jolla for my grandmother's 90th birthday spent a few days around her birthday doing fun things together. Old Town, San Diego was one memorable outing. It was California's first settlement in 1769 with only a mission and a fort! 

My grandmother can't walk far, so she was pushed with her wheelchair through Old Town. We arrived late afternoon to enjoy an early dinner celebration with her, but I'll share those photos next week. Today's photos capture the historical charm of Old Town and some of the interesting things for sale at the gift shops.
