Huntington Beach

I'm pretty excited now about our trip.  I was concerned and worried that I wouldn't want to go because of my boy not feeling so good again, but today he was feeling fairly good.  That made me start thinking about Thursday.  Woot!
A lot of you know, but this is my neo's Valentine's gift from me.  (My own gift too though, cuz I'm going too)..

Yeah, close to the beginning of our relationship he took me to California for the first time.  I did live in CA when I was five, but I had few memories of it.  Since the first trip, I think we've visited a half a dozen more times, and I would move there if the right opportunity presented itself.
This time while we're there we are visiting http://www.venicebeach.com/  Venice Beach.  I am excited for this, as I've never been there, and I'm told it's rad.  (Okay rad is my word, but it was rad or totally tubular, so I went with rad.)
Looking forward to the dry coolness, sounds, breezes, smells and overall feeling of being home.  I know it's weird to think of a place as home when you don't live there.  I guess maybe myself and Lugar have this in common, maybe I could run for Senator of CA.  I would tell you that if I was elected, I would definitely buy something there..(it'd have to be a shack, but I think I might be okay with that).
