day 275: tour of LA

Amery came over to help me load up my table onto my car. I’m storing it with Tim & Mark. I went on a bike ride this morning and my legs were so tired. They were shaking as we were carrying it down. Remind me next time that it’s not a good idea to go on a long ass bike ride, then move a table down a flight of stairs and onto the top of a car. As soon as we loaded it I was on my way to Montecito Heights, by way of downtown LA, Silverlake and Glendale. hahaha Today I decided to take a tour of LA with a table strapped to the top of my car!

Tim and the kids were at gymnastics so I killed time by shopping at Santee Alley for some new sunglasses. I refuse to pay more than $5 for sunglasses, because I lose, break, or scratch them. My last pair was lost to lower Grand Avenue back in July. I’ve somehow managed to make it through the summer sans sunglasses. After gymnastics I met Tim and the kids at a park in Silverlake. Can you imagine my car driving through downtown with a table strapped to the top? Awesome. After the park we took a route into Glendale to avoid the freeways. All that time I forgot to take a picture of the table on my car! Oh well, I’m sure there will be another opportunity to take that picture.


I spent the afternoon/evening with the kids and Tim. We played, blew bubbles and watched Toy Story 2. Somewhere in there was a snack, a nap, and dinner. My allergies got the better of me and I was ready to pass out by 9pm from the antihistamine and the energy of the kids.
