PCH Road Trip - Post 5

When we arrived in LA, our schedule slowed down quite a bit. We stayed with Katie's good friend, Jenny, who lives in Santa Monica. On Thursday, we had a delicious late breakfast before taking on an uphill hike to Griffith Observatory. We attempted to continue our hike to the Hollywood sign but couldn't find the right trail.
That evening we went to happy hour at The Edison, a 1920's themed bar. The idea is pretty neat; upon entering you receive a token to turn in for 1 drink for the price it cost back in that era. We got a martini for only $0.35! However, my second drink was $12. The bartenders and waitresses are dressed for the period and the decor matches as well. It was a unique experience!
The following morning we had breakfast and then took route 1 toward San Diego. This was the slowest drive of our trip - there were many small towns to go through and we hit rush hour traffic upon our arrival to San Diego. We quickly changed and had appetizers at the hotel bar...
...before heading to the Old Globe Theater in Balboa Park to see Engaging Shaw. It was a romantic comedy and the three of us were amazed that a cast of 4 people could put on such an entertaining show without even a scene change.

The next morning we packed our bags and headed to the airport. It was a great trip and I was glad to be able to spend so much time with Katie since I don't see her often enough.
