So, change of plans, I was planning on going to Colorado, until Mike asked me two weeks ago if I wanted to come with him to California for two weeks! He's going out there for work-related purposes, but he is taking two days off so he can explore with me for the first two days. His boss recommended him to take me out there and I'm touched by that.
I will be staying in Anaheim/Riverside basically staying around the Los Angeles area. I have never been to California so I'm looking forward to it. I am sure I will experience some kind of a cultural shock since I'm from Cleveland. I am sure it's a big difference!
So far, Mike and I will go to Disneyland (that is if, I end up with passes from a friend who works at the park), walk around Los Angeles, check out the beach (what's the difference between all of these beaches?!), see Hollywood sign/walk of fame.. I don't know what else, really. If you have any suggestions that's worth seeing in Los Angeles/Hollywood area or outside of it, feel free. So far, my aunt and I are planning to go Whale Watching off Dana Point and the Palm Springs Arial Tramway..
I am thinking I'd also like to see the Santa Monica Pier, San Diego Zoo or Los Angeles Zoo (your suggestion?), Joshua Tree National Park (I've got to see at least ONE National Park out west..), see the Pacific Coastal Highway, and the famous Getty Center (love art museums, so this would be very interesting to go check out!)..
That's about it. Oh I'm bringing my D60 with me, so I did purchase a lens yesterday, the 18-270mm Tamron, so I can't wait to use that and take pictures, I know I will end up with a lot by the time I come back home. :)
I really am looking forward to getting out of Ohio. I think I need a change of scenery just for a short while, so it should do me some good!
