Ted Goes on Summer Vacaction! (part 5)

Ted's first art related stop was at the "World's Smallest Art Gallery". Truly, the gallery is smaller than a closet and houses rotating exhibits by local artists.

Julie discovered the Panorama setting on her new camera and loves it. Can you find Ted in this panorama shot of the boardwalk and the beach?

Ted paid a whole dollar to get his picture taken with Predator (made out of mechanical parts) so you better enjoy it!

Here is another (more challenging) Find Ted panorama photo in the spread of different sculptures made of engine parts.

Here is Ted in front of a Venice Beach tribute to Starry Night (in spray paint).

And when Ted was driving back home (to TERI's house) the traffic was so bad, he was embarrassed to have his picture taken with it.

Next post: Ted goes to Pismo a year from when he was adopted by Julie and C. Stay tuned!

Ted Goes on Summer Vacaction! (part 4)

Towards the end of the night, Ted started getting a hankering for something sweet. Lo and behold, the Deep Fried Banana and Nutella Crepe came to the rescue. SO GOOD!

Besides the concert itself, tickets to the Weezer concert included free OC Fair admission and a free ride on the La Grande Wheel, the fair's big huge Ferris Wheel. From here, Ted could see the whole fair all lit up.

The next morning, Ted (and family) woke up bright and early (read: 11 a.m. [hey! we're on vacation here!]) to drive from Orange, CA (where TERI's house is) to Venice Beach, CA (the best place to meet crazies and buy cool arts/crafts). Here you can see the ideal traffic situation. We only experienced about 15 minutes (total) of this kind of traffic.

Here is Ted at the beginning of the beautiful Venice Beach Boardwalk.

And here is Ted (and mom Julie) waiting for lunch at the Candle Cafe. C's recommendation: the 1/2 lb South of the Border Burger with extra guac.

After lunch, Ted tried to run away to his home in the waves. After a few unsuccessful tries, a waterlogged little sea turtle returned to mom's warm beach bag for a well deserved nap.
