Gettin' out of Dodge

Living in L.A. is not as glamorous as seen on T.V. It is full mostly of upper middle class A-Holes who want to be(and act like they are) rich A-Holes. People don't know how to drive so it takes forever to get anywhere. Even though there is a new law stating that you are not supposed to talk on your cell without a hand free device people still are, and are even now texting while driving(and they wonder why their car is all dented up). Besides all that everyone has no common courtesy anymore. People are unfriendly at best. Every ten to twenty minutes there is some kind of siren(police/ambulance/fire dept). I could go on.....But that's not the point of this blog. This blog is about how nice it is to get out of L.A.(even if only for a few days). I recently went camping in Oakhurst(near Yosemite[also my wifes hometown]) for the 4th. It was a really nice time. Quit atmosphere, clean fresh air, and the sound of running water to put you to sleep(if the beers and campfire don't help). Even driving was nice. No traffic(well once we got out of the city), No A-Holes on the phone, just open road and my tunes. The family and me had a great time. It was totally therapeutic for me. Relaxing. Glad I got to go. When you get out of the city you sure don't want to go back! I mean sure there are lots of good things about livin' in the city but it is soooooo nice to get out every now and then.
