Being in LA is always something I’ve waited for every summer. It’s all about the sun, the surf, and hefty shopping in So-Cal. But for me, the thing that I looked for is not only those, it’s also having fun in the carnie.

So, I decided to drive for roughly half an hour from my hotel to Santa Monica. Not only the beach that’s amazing but also there’s Pacific Park. Bright colors, carnie food, and many rides. It seems that I’m back into being a kid (sometimes I still am one). Riding on a roller coaster, munching down some (gross) hotdogs, playing Toss-a-Ring to win some plush toys sure get my day going.
