Last Friday

It is Friday morning last week and we all woke up hungry. Time to drive two hours into LA and have breakfast at Philippe's! They invented the French Dip Sandwich by accident 100 years ago last month. It's funny, but before the trip, I thought Arby's had invented that sandwich.

Here is the whole crew after we had scarfed (7) French Dips of various meat persuasions between us as well as large amount of tapioca.

Stuffed and needing to walk it off, we left the car at Philippe's and hiked up to Griffith Observatory far above LA. In addition to having a huge telescope and a small science museum, it was a location used on "The Bachelorette"!
The views were fantastic. However, I am a bit afraid of heights. Here, my strong papa, holds us tightly with the Hollywood sign just visible in the background.
After spending the afternoon in the flawless 70 degree weather with 0% humidity, we headed down to see the Pacific Ocean. Here both my Dad and I set foot in the Pacific for the first time.

A few waves hit me, however, leaving me looking like this.

My little brother and Mom both made it down to the Santa Monica pier, too.

The sun set as we headed back to the car making for a beautiful end to our Friday.
