Last week Don took a week off for vacation, and I've been home for a couple of weeks on summer break. We had a great time going (local) places and doing (cheap) stuff together. Last Saturday we spent the day with our friends Doug and Claudia and rode the Metro to Long Beach. We took the Gold Line to Union Station, got off and walked to Felippe's and had lunch. Then we took the Red Line to the Blue Line all the way to the end, and got off and spent the day walking around beautiful downtown Long Beach. The weather was perfect and we had a great time.

It took about an hour from start to finish to ride the Metro all the way to Long Beach. The end of the line was walking distance to tons of restaurants and shops and the Long Beach Aquarium. Parking is free at the Metro station in Pasadena and no traffic there and back - it was a great way to go!
