Perhaps you have, but have your family ever gone somewhere without plans?
There was an event on a Saturday morning. I woke up extra early that morning. My family had plans to go get some breakfast and then drive of to Santa Barbara where the event was taking place. However, that morning, I was notified that the event was cancel because our main presenter that was running the event happened to go out of the country for an emergency family situation.
My mom, sisters, and I were all in dresses as my father was in a nice polo shirt and shorts. We got in the car, and we made plans to go to Santa Barbara and just go downtown or to an attraction place. Not before we drove off, our plans changed. We were going to Santa Monica Pier.
It was the first time we had been to Santa Monica Pier. We spend the whole afternoon walking around and it was really crowed. We did some window shopping and walked around a few stores. However, it was getting late and my father wanted us to go to Downtown L.A. He was excited to show us around L.A. because my sisters and I had not really gotten the opportunity to go there due to time whenever we had gone to L.A. In addition, my dad had lived around there before. Since it was too late, we found ourselves looking for a Hotel. Every single place we had stopped was "full". We tried the casinos, the areas close to the center of LA, nothing. We just got on the highway again when I made a final call. They had a couple of rooms.
The room was in okay condition. And very dull. There was loud noises from people upstairs, music blasting from a car parked outside, and the sound of cars zooming really fast in the highway. There was even a knock in our door. As creepy as this place was, it was enough for us to wake up the next morning and go for a walk in L.A.
In comparison, we had just recently attended a Wedding in L.A. Planning ahead of time is a benefit. You pay half as much and know where to drive and where to go. I can conclude that I did enjoy my trip better in the latter story because my sisters and I used the swimming pool, and our rooms were perfect as the sun is up because we got great lighting a more seemingly clean room.
