I had to work on Saturday last weekend. It sucked. I will have to work next weekend too. This movie is a mess, so I try to take my mind off of work when I have my only day off of the week.
This weekend Deanne's parents were in town. We decided to drive up to Antelope Valley to look at the Poppies that were supposed to be in full bloom.
We started the day with a brunch at Anisette up in Santa Monica. I love that place. The atmosphere is so nice and the food is great. When we were done we started driving towards the state park where the Poppies were supposed to be. We decided to drive a smaller road through the mountains instead of the 5 freeway. The drive up was great, lots of little things to look at. Once we got to the park we realized that they had lied a bit on the state park website… the Poppies weren't in full bloom yet. Thanks, great. After a really windy walk in the park we decided to head back home. We had seen a hill with a lot of Poppies on the way up, so we decided to go back to it. We got there just as the light started to be nicer and after about half an hour of picture taking we felt like we had had enough. The sun was starting to hide behind the hills too so the light went away fast. I got a few great pictures of Deanne, some flowers and her dad.
I really want to come back when the Poppies are in full bloom..maybe next year.
We ended the day at Houston's steak house :)
I had a lot of fun and it was nice to get out and take some pictures again, and more importantly, to not be at work.
