Needed some Happy today

Finally watched the music video to Pharrell's "Happy", and I am super stoked to see Los Angeles and its peeps dancing down the street as the backdrop.  I know these places.  I love these places.  


In fact... If you want a view of SoCal/Los Angeles, or you just need a pick me up after a terrible day, check out this site!  :)--> 24 Hours of Happy <-- (:

Going home

... And now... it's time to go home....



The girls took me to Boston...

Said quick goodbyes, and jumped out with my luggage.


At Boston Logan Airport


Goodbyes suck.





6 hours later....




A friend posted later that leaving is not the hardest part... it is the memories of moments that continually pop up after.  In all the trips that I have been on, this has been so true, and coming home is like coming down from an exhilarating high.... Reality is slow and your home has continued on, without any consideration for all that you just experienced.  

I have never gotten so close to a group of people so quickly in my life.  I had so many wonderful experiences this summer, I am sure that I will be retelling great memories for a long while.

Santa Anita Canyon try #1

So... this canyon is beautiful, but the trails are a bit confusing.  We came late, and had a little trouble figuring out where to go.  

So we parked in Chantry Flats, and then made our way up the Picnic area to check out a map.  
Check here for a map: http://adamspackstation.com/maps-trails-camps/maps/












There was a lot to see and do on this trail, and I cannot wait to go back.  These dam like things, cement remains, cabins, and campsites are scattered throughout the wilderness.  









We came around with only 5 miles on our pedometers, so we detoured and added the trail to check out Sturdevant Falls





Like I mentioned, there was so much to see and do... and these people were just awesome, that we had so many random adventures in this hike.  :)

Some of these adventures... ya, just wandering.

Los Angeles, CA: Adventuring...

Probably the best thing about adventuring is meeting new people, hearing their stories, and sharing an experience with them.  Yesterday our train was cancelled, and we had to wait around for a couple hours to catch the 7pm train.  Our phones were dying also, so we went on a search for outlets.  Amazingly, out of the entire Union Station, we found one working plug and someone else was already plugged into it.  So we shared the outlet with him.  We began talking, and then he introduced us to a friend he had made, when they both missed the same train, at 4pm and went on another search for outlets down the street while waiting for the 5:35p train, which was cancelled.  So we all hung out together, and ended up sitting on the train together.  Even connected with the rest of the cart on the way home.  Pretty awesome.

Hollywood, CA: Wacky Hollywood

Our Hollywood adventure in pictures...

I've been here so many times, but this time I took my camera, and I have never been stopped and solicited so many times in my life. Good Lord, I don't want a freaking tour people, I've already seen it!

Again some pics are sideways... I can't seem to figure out how to fix that... so I'll get back to that.






By the Kodak Theatre- In prep for the Academy Awards



Yes... Hollywood is a bit crazy.


 What do you see?
