Out of This World Football

November 2-4, 2012
Los Angeles, CA

This weekend Mom, Dad, Ben and I went to LA for the Ducks vs USC game. We arrived late Friday evening. Saturday morning our friend Micah and his girlfriend Stacey met us for breakfast. After grabbing a bite in a fun 50’s like diner called Pann’s, we took a short trip to Venice Beach. I’m not a huge fan of the weedy environment but the waves and beach were beautiful, especially since it’s early November. From the beach we made our way to the game.

The game was a 62-51 Oregon victory. As the score indicates it was a lot of fun to watch. We burned many calories cheering, so post game we ate at the Cheesecake Factory at Marina del Rey.

Sunday at noon we met up with two of Ben’s friends, Jeremy and Elisabeth, for lunch at Umami Burgers. The burgers and sides were both delicious. I highly recommend it to any future LA visitors. After lunch we engaged our inner nerds and went to see the Endeavor Space Shuttle at the California Science Center. It was a really neat exhibit. It was especially fun to see it with Ben as he has a ridiculous knowledge base in regards to most space related things. I particularly enjoyed the exhibit on pooping in space.


The Endeavor Space Shuttle's toilet, vacuum and all. 

After the Endeavor we wandered a little more around the science center grounds before saying our goodbyes to Jeremy and Elisabeth and making our way back to LAX. I’ll be home for four days before heading off to Sacramento to see the Smiths!

Until then,
Katy
