Any trip to LA isn't complete without a trip to the famed Rodeo Drive. Or so I've been told. Cheryl and I got all dolled up, not quite sure if that applies to men, and headed to Beverly Hills. There was never any intent to purchase anything, it's reputation alone was enough to make that decision, and the actual trip verified it. But it was fun to pretend.
For obvious reasons, the highlight of my trip was the racing yellow Ferrari 430, whereas the highlight for Cheryl was Williams-Sonoma.
The trip turned out to be an even bigger success when Cheryl and I found the perfect place to take Christmas Card pictures.
All of Rodeo Drive was being elaborately decorated with Christmas trees, lights, nutcrackers, and millions of dollars worth of crystal chandeliers. You know, the usual.
One of these weeks we plan on going back during the evening and having our neighbors, the Lees, take some pictures of us for our Christmas Card. Who knows, if we're feeling generous, we might even take some pictures of them. Cheryl and I both agree that Rodeo Drive wonderful place to just take a stroll. Due to county ordinance, homeless persons are not allowed to loiter/panhandle anywhere within 10 ft. of either side of a businesses entrance. Although this is just speculation on my behalf, Rodeo Drive businesses are essentially smaller, expensive, high fashion retail boutiques. The businesses are so close together, you can't be 10 ft. from one doorway without being less than 10ft. from the next doorway. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against homeless persons, but it's nice not having to worry about being approached by someone for money when you're just trying to window shop/people watch.
