Today was a relaxing day …

Our gracious hosts had to work today (people not on vacation do normally have to work on Mondays) leaving us to our own devices. We started out with a hike up into the hills on Long Canyon Trail. After cleaning up back at the house we got in the car and drove down to check out Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive, grabbing lunch at Momed and some dessert at the Ice Cream Lab. We took the “scenic” route back to the highway through West Hollywood and eventually made our way through rush hour traffic back to Simi Valley. Later in the evening, once our hosts got home from work, we went out for one final dinner together at the Lazy Dog.

This was our last day of no-driving for a while. Tomorrow we’re back on the road …
