Quick Trip to “SoCal”

July 16, 2013 by julie@julieshipman.com

A quick trip to “SoCal” to visit my oldest son – Peter, with my youngest son, Jack.  There is one more in the middle, Hank — but as usual, he’s on his own journey this week.  Venice Beach is quite fascinating.  I don’t think PeopleWatching is better anywhere in the world!  There is truly every flavor of person imaginable.  There is NO norm.  Anything goes.                                              Refreshing.  Interesting.  A bit shocking.

It makes you ponder what is “acceptable” and what is not.  It’s all perspective.  Tolerance is key, but in raising children you have to set boundaries somewhere.  Venice Beach is the perfect setting for Endless Boundaries!

Enjoy my look at the world.  It’s different and it’s the same.  I love to travel.  I love to see it thru a lens.  I love to share it with friends, family and the world.
