Living on my own at college, it's weird to transition back to living at home over school breaks. So to get away from home for a bit, we took a mini-trip up to Venice Beach for a couple of days. Ever since seeing Because I Said So and Valentine's Day, which both feature scenes at the historic Venice Canals, I had wanted to visit them. The canals definitely did not disappoint and it was nice to stroll up and down the bridges looking at all the wonderful houses that I will most likely never be able to afford...unless I win the lottery (still my back-up plan).

We also ventured over to the main area of Venice Beach, which was significantly less quaint than the canals. However, the street performers, graffiti walls, "medicinal" smoke shops, and rows of trinket booths definitely gave the beach some...character. Needless to say, I think I will stick to Santa Monica whenever I have the urge to go to the beach in LA.
