LA Trip

At the beginning of June, Trevor and I had the opportunity to take a trip just ourselves. Traci watched McCoy and we headed out to LA for the long weekend.

We made a similar trip last year but it was 9 days long, we brought McCoy...and we visited a lot more people. This time it was pretty short and low key but we went just to see Trevor's best friend growing up, Tom.

This was a perfect trip for us. We didn't have anything specifically planned. We relaxed the whole weekend and enjoyed spending all our time with Tom and his amazing girlfriend, Lauren. We didn't take a whole bunch of pictures but here are a few from our trip.

We spent a day in Old Hollywood. It was a great experience and surprisingly there was a lot of historical things to explore. 

We had to visit the beach of course! 

On our way home we unfortunately had some car issues. This kind guy stopped by to offer his assistance. We were so lucky that he was able to help us the way he did. He found the issue and fixed it for us at no charge. All the cash we had on hand was $23 and we felt it was not sufficient for his service that he had provided for us. When we offered it to him, almost in embarrassment for how little it was, this was his reply, "My wife and I are on the road so often that we don't get the chance to go to church. We always try and help anyone in need as our way of paying our tithes to the Lord." I was so impressed and even though we didn't belong to the same faith, I knew that he was trying to share the light he had the best way he could. No matter what religion you are or aren't a part of, there are still ways to share the light through what kind of person you are. 

We couldn't have asked for a better trip. There were so many memories created and we had such an amazing time. Thanks for the great weekend, Tom and Lauren! Thank you for being great hosts and helping us to have a great get-away trip!
