Hi everyone! We have arrived in sunny LA and couldn't be happier! Yesterday was quite a whirlwind. We arrived in Rochester Airport bright and early at 5AM, to find out that we were missing three of our girls! After sorting out our many cab issues and surviving some awkward pat downs from airport security, we successfully arrived in Chicago! Here we encountered the lovely Baseball team of Wabath College. Since we were dispersed throughout the plane, we all had our own interactions with these southern boys and they BEGGED us to sing for them. Of course we had to oblige and we serenaded them at the baggage claim! We may even meet up with them for some line dancing Wednesday night. More to come on that!
After a beautiful drive through LA and Orange County we arrived in La Habra, California. As Gracie noted, the gorgeous homes remind us of that song from Weeds. “Little boxes on the hillside…” We had an incredible lunch, and got settled in our new home for the week. The Forbes family couldn’t be more welcoming! They have made us all feel so comfortable and have been so hospitable.
We then realized how many things we forgot to pack, and went for a walk to Target! This was a great way to hang out, buy things and get exercise! It wasn’t just a long walk, those hills were challenging! We all kept mentioning how incredible it was that we weren’t wearing puffy jackets, or that we could see the grass! We are all still a bit shocked that we are actually in 80 degree weather. After purchasing tons of sun screen (or tanning oil) and other fun goodies, we headed back to the Forbes home.
We spent the next few hours outside, getting some sun, or just some Vitamin D for those of us who burn instantly. We also incorporated a good one hour rehearsal outside. This was great for two reasons! One, we got to stay outside in the sun, and two, we were able to practice staying in tune with lots of noise. This was a great exercise for our gig on Venice Beach tomorrow!
By this time we were all exhausted. Jet lag was catching up with us and we wanted to go to bed at 6 PM. But we made it though and had a wonderful BBQ dinner, and sang a few songs for Lindsay’s family. Then we called it a night. After watching a Bug’s Life (Gill, Garry and Da Hye’s room) we fell fast asleep!
This morning we all woke up to Bailey practicing piano and the beautiful OC sun. Some girls went to church, some got some extra sleep and Garry went for a run throughout the gated neighborhood. Don’t worry; no coyotes. After an incredible breakfast of Danishes and fresh fruit we are all energized for the day ahead!
We are now packing for a day at the beach! Singing on Venice Boardwalk, then some beach time and then dinner! Hopefully we’ll be able to post some videos soon! Stay posted J
Love,
The Ladies of Vocal Point
