The weather today in Los Angeles was absolutely beautiful. 85 degrees and sunny! The Miser Family took full advantage of it and picnicked at Will Rogers State Park with some friends. The cost of the outing was next to nothing: we made our own lunch and we parked our vehicle outside of the park for free (saving $8). Will Rogers is located in Pacific Palisades in a truly, truly bucolic location chock full of California Oaks and giant Eucalyptus trees. I swear I could feel them pumping out fresh oxygen into the atmosphere. We hiked up to Inspiration Point were we had views of the ocean, Catalina, downtown, the foothills, etc. It was awe inspiring. Bee was carried part of the way as the hike is steep in some areas, but she insisted on walking much of it. Glenn The Dog came along of course, and had a most fab time peeing on everything in his path. We picnicked outside of Will's house, and then played Frisbee and flew a kite on the expansive lawn that also doubles as a Polo field. We wore our little Bee out, which is always a good thing - she will sleep really well tonight. All of us benefited from being in the great outdoors on this fine January day. Thank you, Will Rogers who said this of his property: "It's not really a ranch, but we call it that. It sounds big and don't really do no harm." I'm not really sure what that means, but I like it.
Excellent blog Peanut. I love the premise, it suits me too. Any chance you would consider changing the black background? Makes it hard to read and I want to read this one. I'm old.
ReplyDeleteRemember our trips to the zoo when we were kids? Back then, the Woodland Park Zoo was free. Mom packed a picnic lunch. The only thing she bought was a box of cracker jack for each of us, and bags of peanuts and popcorn that we threw to the animals to eat! We had a blast, and it was mostly free. Now the zoo is way better for the animals, I can't believe we were allowed to feed them.
