It Never Rains in Southern California

Have I talked enough about the weather in California?  It's the best.  IPhone roundup:

This was a beautiful hotel right next to the Santa Montica beach.

Me taking a picture of Eric taking a lot of pictures at Dusty's kickball game.

 We went to drag queen bingo on Wednesday night, where Eric and Dusty ordered large beers, and then small espressos to counteract those large beers.

We went out to brunch and then to a natural foods market on Saturday, where we found this incredibly appetizing sauerkraut juice.  Yum.

On Saturday night we had the opportunity to go to the Magic Castle, an member and invite only club in L.A.  You spend the night going from room to room, watching amazing magic shows.  It was so much fun!  They have a pretty strict dress code though, so we had to go find Eric a jacket.  Onward to Goodwill!

Dusty found this pretty amazing gold three-piece suit that he went back to get the next day.

Ready!  Once we got to the Magic Castle they actually made Eric change shoes.  It was awkward and hilarious.

You couldn't take any pictures inside the Magic Castle, so Eric managed to sneak this one of the men's bathroom.

We left L.A. on Sunday for a two-day jaunt to Sequoia National Park.  It was amazing!

After two days in the park and another 5 hour drive we made it to Lake Tahoe, dirty and sleepy.

This is our forecast for the next 5 days.  Terrible.

More on Sequoia National Park soon!
