Not a huge surprise, I didn't make my deadline of posting all my travels before arriving in Florida. The last few weeks have been crazy! I drove from Phoenix to FL, a few days later I flew to KC for a conference for work, flew back to FL and drove to Atlanta for a month stay for work. The good news is I'm "stuck" in a gorgeous Residence Inn with Jack. I have quite a bit more time for relaxation than I've had in the past year. So.. I *hopefully* will catch up on here.

This post is all about my super fun stay in Marina Del Rey, California! I lived there for a little over a month for work. I have always loved what California offers. Nice people, nice weather, and there is always something to do. I finally saw the Hollywood sign (I've been to Cali a million times, but never found the time to find the sign).

 If you've ever wanted to go to the sign, beware! It's terribly hard to find. We actually thought we had to climb a mountain to find it. That's not the case. However... we climbed said mountain and got to see the greater LA area from above.

Of course, what is a trip to LA without going to the Santa Monica Pier? We found this little birdy on our travels :)
