Title: Trip to California pics
Post by: poppagee on December 05, 2010, 12:01:06 pm
After a long wait, but cos of the snow up here there isnt much else doing !  here are some of the pics of the 'highlights' of mine and jonathan's trip to the US.
We started at San Diego, Mission Beach then onto Vegas. From Vegas we went up into the Mountains to Big Bear Lake. From Big Bear we went onto Newport Beach, visiting Huntington Beach, then up to Fullerton and finally back to LA.
Its an amazing place, friendly, chilled out and laid back, good bars, fish taco's, the girls loved it, got to wear my flip flops everyday, mountainbiking in the mountains and using beach cruisers to just cruise around on the beaches, met some cool people who were super friendly.
We saw so much stuff and some real cool car meets; Cars & Coffee, Derelict Do'nuts, NHRA museum, Nick's Burgers, some of my favourite pics are here :
