we heard about a kid-friendly hike by the beach, down in palos verdes, so we decided to check it out. and, other then being super hot, it was a really great adventure.
one of the highlights of the trip was actually on the drive there - we drove right over a bunch of the docks at the port of los angeles. it was so neat! i have seen lots of shows (ie. 24!) where sketchy crime goes down in places like that, and it looks big in those shows. but it was seriously so much more impressive in real life! there was tons of enormous cargo ships parked at docks, getting their bins uploaded was even bigger cranes. and there were thousands, and thousands, and thousands of cargo bins stacked in these huge yards. anyways... my descriprion will do it no justice. but, just know, that it was really neat!
