We started are Saturday by making a mix of songs for our day "date". I (Shay) started thumbing through my iTunes playlist and dragging songs to a mix I titled "Lighthouses and Limousines". The "lighthouse" part made since since we were going to visit the San Vicente Lighthouse (pictured above, obviously), but the "limousines" part I simply made up. Bethany even asked me about the "limousine" part, but I told her I just wanted another longer "L" word. And that's just the beginning.
We exited our apartment building and no sooner did we see a black limousine pulling out of the gas station! We started laughing and thought it was funny that we had titled our mix that, and our day began. Getting away this Saturday was our goal, but we really didn't care where; we just wanted to get out. That's why we chose to go to "Palos Verdes Estates." Basically, a fancy name for a bunch of rich people's houses on the California coast. But the Lighthouse we visited was neat because they had a "visitor center" type place there where people were whale watching, hanging out, and then there were some people taking pictures of their friends with blankets on their heads... we don't get it either. Apparently there is kind of a community, if you will, of whale watcher types. These people were intense. They even came complete with a chalkboard to which they kept count of the number of whales they saw. When we were there it was already up to 20 gray whales! Anyways, I think we need to get back to the limousines.
To our surprise, we saw more limousines than I believe we have ever seen. Our total count was 13! Quite honestly, we weren't on the hunt for limousines, but we just kept seeing them! It was really strange. You might think that we had some kind of foreknowledge, or whatever else, but we didn't. We just wanted a mix of songs for our "day away" and it ended up making the day that much more fun. So... I guess we're like prophets now? Well, I guess not. Now if we could just figure out how to get in a limo and go to a lighthouse, then we'd really be set. Yet, I think we're content with our, sweet, deluxe, classy, 1998 Volkswagen Jetta. Ahh.. whatever, I bet we still had more fun than the people in those limo's... I mean, look at us! We're so fun!
Happy weekend everyone!

Oh and this is Suzi on Tom's account. Didn't want you to think he was sounding kind of girly.
