i had the most fun in LA this past week. i was able to see my one of my bosses who has been out for most of the summer, and definitely enjoyed the downtime we were lucky enough to have :) we stayed at this amazing hotel right by LAX, the Custom Hotel...."a sleek, classically modern boutique hotel". it was awesome! we got a chance to hang out by the pool and relax, and the whole place has this funky/fun vibe to it :) i loved it. although it's not within walking distance of crazy cool areas, i would recommend it to anyone visiting LA. it's incredibly reasonable, super close to LAX, and a short drive from Santa Monica, the beach, excellent shopping, etc.
*pictures from the website, exactly what it looked like :)
the first night in LA we drove to Santa Monica and hung out at the beach for a little while before dinner. first time having my toes in the pacific :)
i flew back early friday morning just in time for the C22 outing....TRAPEZING!!!! oh man, it was insane. im super scared of heights, so it was a big battle to walk up the ladder and stand with my toes on the edge of that tiny platform. i did swing once, wasn't quite able to pull off the knee hang trick i had done on the ground earlier, but i was glad that i did try. lol, however, i hit the net thinking, "wow, i did it! but, i have no desire to try this again!" hahahaha, so i sat out while others were going on their third and fourth rounds. im kinda disappointed that i didnt try again, but im also glad that i was able to jump off that ledge! big step for me :)
*picture of my friend chad, who mastered the trick and was able to do a catch!
the traveling was fun, but im really glad to be back home :)
