Up up and away...and back

After a whole day of drizzling rain, today was a gorgeous fall like weather in Los Angeles.

I had the pleasure of taking a short trip up North to have lunch.

By airplane.




Santa Monica Airport




Our airplane awaits us... Piper Cherokee


I'm in the back...I'm not flying it, FYI


Not exactly a 747...


At the end of the runway, this sign made me chuckle for some reason...



And we're off...!


Just browsing by downtown L.A.


After lunch, we decided to take a detour around Catalina Island


Over the water


Catalina Island


Heading back to SM Airport over LAX
