Friends, Family and Drama in LA

 

Wednesday night while we were still in Ventura, Dan and Jan came to the trailer for dinner at our beautiful beach campsite.  We had a good time catching up with our friends.

Thursday Connie went to breakfast with Jan, Glory, Joy and Suzie.  That bunch of ladies always have to much fun together.

Thursday afternoon we headed down the coast a little further to an RV park on the beach near Los Angeles were we will be staying while we visit with my niece and her husband.  This is where the drama begins.

We checked in right at 3:00 found our spot and started to get set up when we heard lots of sirens coming from all directions.  Then the police converged on the park in great numbers.  Within moments they had a suspect under arrest not more 100 feet from us.

  

Over the next half hour there where police motorcycles, mark cars, unmarked cars and helicopters everywhere.  Four hours later we still couldn’t drive in or out until police dogs finished a search for a weapon.  There is a beach parking lot very near the RV park and there had been a shooting there at 3:00 just as we were checking in.

Just another day at beach.

The day ended on a much more pleasant note as we had a nice dinner out with Monaka and Cash.
