City of Angels

Entry 6:


We only had one week in Los Angeles, so we used the time to make final preparations, pick up any last minute items, and spend time with our family. It was our first opportunity to hold Jake, the newest addition to the Grossman family. Congratulations to the exhausted parents, Scott and Jo Ellen.



After our train arrived in LA, we drove down to San Diego to visit the cousins and relax with some good music, watching the sunset near the coast in Del Mar. The following morning was highlighted by a fantastic breakfast at Naked Cafe in Solana Beach. We continued our journey back to Los Angeles with a stopover at Balboa Island and Newport Beach. You don't want to miss Olive Oil and Beyond, an olive oil store on Balboa Island. Try the pomegranate balsamic vinegar. And while you're on the island, follow in Marc's footsteps and get a frozen banana dipped in chocolate and nuts.



To express our thanks to the family, we took Mom and Howard our to Barefoot Restauarant and prepared dinner for Dad and Harriet. You will be missed, but this is just too long in the making and it's time to begin our Asian adventure.

Hey Marc & Sharon,
What an exciting blog... I am catching up day by day and can't believe how long you have already been on this journey...
It is so exciting and I hope one day I can experience something similar. It was wonderful having you stay with me along your Southern Cal journey.
Much love, be safe!
Laura
