Anniversay Weekend (Saturday, November 10th)
Tobia surprised me for our anniversary by buying us two tickets to LA to visit Point Vicente Lighthouse. Our flight was scheduled to leave early Saturday morning from SJ to LAX, and return in the evening.
We landed in LA around 10:30 in the morning and rented a car to drive out to Palos Verdes, where the lighthouse is located. The lighthouse is only open the 2nd Saturday of every month, so our timing had to be planned. Driving through Sepulveda Blvd in LA, we ultimately joined Highway 1 South and reached the lighthouse just before noon.
It was quite warm even that close to the coast. We got to walk into the lighthouse and climb into the lense room where it was extremely hot. On our way out, we walked along the coast line and got some nice pictures of the lighthouse from a distance. It was then I was able to truly appreciate the bluff upon which the lighthouse was built.
Following the lighthouse we had lunch outdoors, overlooking the ocean, which was very relaxing. We dropped the rental car off, and were extremely efficiently bused to the airport where Tobia was able to get us an earlier flight back home.
Once at home we quickly got ready and were picked up by Richard and along with Wes, headed off to SF for some great Italian food, followed by Beach Blanket Babylon (which was hilarious). A great and extremely tiring day… quite a jet-set life.
The following day we went to our favorite restaurant for dinner. Wonderful weekend!
