My cousin couldn’t quite handle the night of drinking from the previous night and had to call into work sick. After hanging out for most of the morning, Jeremy and I decided that we were going to head out to Venice Beach and walk around a bit for the afternoon. Being that traffic in LA sucks, it was quite late by the time we got there. We had time to walk around a bit before heading back to my cousin’s place to meet him and a friend for dinner. After an enjoyable dinner and hanging out, Jeremy and I took off for his place. Jeremy lives in Banning, which on a good day is probably an hour and a half from LA. Since we were heading out there around 9 or 10, we didn’t hit much traffic and it was a good day. We hung out at his place and ended up crashing due to exhaustion. The trip was coming to a close and we needed to get our rest.
