Los Angeles and Six Flags Magic Mountain

Happy to be back in DC but also missing the Southwest area a lot. Laurie took care of Gerry on Saturday and also took him overnight. I was so thankful for that because we were all exhausted and that way we could sleep in on Sunday. I had a couple of things that I wanted to see in Arlington around the Pentagon, so I did that on Saturday. I visited the Pentagon Memorial, the Air Force Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, and Theodore Roosevelt Island. On Sunday, I went to the Six Flags America water park. I find it ridiculous to pay $14 for a safe to store clothes. So by the end of the day, I gave my safe to another girl. But it was nice. I've never been on a halfpipe water slide, and the other water slides were cool too.

After three working days, on Thursday, I flew to Los Angeles, where I stayed with Kevin's aunt Jackie and her husband Ken. They are such nice people. Jackie picked me up from the airport, and then we drove down to Laguna Niguel, had lunch, and spent the rest of the day at their place. The house is so awesome; you can see the ocean out of the windows. The next day, I drove to Six Flags Magic Mountain. I rented a car about 20 minutes from their place, and they drove me there, luckily. The park was awesome. Definitely one of my favorites after Cedar Point and Six Flags Great Adventure. They had some really cool roller coasters. A hybrid coaster, twisted Colossus, a nice coaster called X2, a short but intense one called Superman, and Tatsu, a face-down coaster. In the evening, when I came back, Ken picked me up and drove me back to their place.

The next day, I was kind of exhausted, so I spent the day at the beach with Jackie. The weather was not so nice; it was really cloudy and not that warm, but still nice. On Sunday, we all went to Los Angeles, and Jackie and Ken showed me around. First, we drove around and visited the Los Angeles Police Department. After that, we drove to the Santa Monica Pier, where we had lunch. Next stop, Venice Beach and Muscle Beach. The beach was nice, and this place, Muscle Beach, kind of weird. All these fitness stuff at the beach and a lot of these weird muscle guys. That's L.A. After that, we drove by Beverly Hills and Hollywood, visited the Walk of Fame and saw the Hollywood sign. It was an overall nice day, and we came back late. On Monday, Jackie drove me to the airport. The traffic was so bad that I was worried I would miss my flight, but I made it. Overall, a really nice trip.
