Yesterday afternoon Tami, Rodney, and I all went to the beach. We were heading toward Venice Beach but we ended up first at Santa Monica Beach. It was beautiful! There was a pier with a Ferris Wheel and a Roller Coaster. There were vendors that sold chinese name writing, clay faces, and cotton candy. Then we went the one mile down the beach to Venice Beach. It was, to put it mildly, very interesting. The type of people at Venice Beach were not exactly the kind you would see in rural Illinois. None the less, the afternoon was great and I am so glad I was able to see the ocean. We toped that off with the Lorrie Morgan concert and headed for bed. Well, today is Sunday which means it’s time to head home. The Commodity Classic was amazing and I encourage all of you to go if you ever get a chance. Be looking for a follow up blog tonight or tomorrow. Until then, I’m off to the airport.
