It’s not that it wasn’t sunny in Florida — but hey, guys, guess what?! It’s sunny here in California, too! We’ve been having a blast these past few days, and yesterday our United classes started bright and early. We’ve got a full schedule for today and tomorrow, including participating in a bunch of shoots — as photographers for most of them, and as models for one. (Eep!) We’ll have a ton of pictures to share soon, but in the meantime, here’s a little peek into the sights we’ve enjoying here on the left coast!Our first view of the Pacific, in North Manhattan Beach, did not disappoint!We headed up to Griffith Observatory to look down on all of Los Angeles (and take the obligatory photo in front of the Hollywood sign).No, we did not buy anything. We did, however, nearly get run over by the stroller Kelsey Grammer was pushing.Our drive up the Pacific Coast Highway, through Malibu, a town called Ormond Beach (really!), and into Santa Barbara, was just amazing.Our bike ride along the coast in Santa Barbara was even more incredible. This, people, is paradise. We want to come here as often as possible. Really.

So there you have it! There’s a lot more to come. In the meantime, we’re soaking in the atmosphere, the beautiful sights, the comfort of the resort, and all the knowledge we’re learning and the friendships we’re making. Florida, we’ll see you in a few more days!
