Jon and I loaded our bikes in the Jeep and headed up to Venice Beach today! We had a bit of a slow start ...there was a four-car accident that happened right ahead of us on the 405. Thankfully no one was seriously injured, but it was pretty intense to watch. Jon did a great job of swerving and slamming on the brakes so we weren't involved. I called 911 and Jon got out and helped one of the girls get out of her car (her door was stuck). The CHP arrived quickly and after about 45 minutes they had our witness statement and we were free to go. We were so thankful we weren't involved and that everyone was physically ok.
We continued on our way and started off in the Abbot Kinney area of Venice Beach. We had a great brunch at
Gjelina. I had the fried egg sandwich and it hit the spot.
After brunch we hopped on our bikes and rode over by the canals. The homes were beautiful and the landscaping was gorgeous.
Then we headed over to the boardwalk and rode up to Santa Monica. We stopped off by some swings and Jon thoroughly enjoyed himself.
On our way back we had our eyes peeled for the infamous "Venice" sign from Californication. And, we found it!
Look at yall being heros! glad you were ok. Looks like a great day otherwise!

My stomach is growling after seeing that sandwich! It looks like you guys had a great day (minus the accident - thank goodness Jon was able to avoid it!) :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you all weren't in the accident! I think it's really heroic that you all called 911 and that Jon helped someone out of their car-that is so amazing. Also, your fried egg sandwich looks so so delicious! I love all of the California-y things you get to do!! :)
