The Great American Road Trip: Venice Beach

The Great American Road Trip: Venice Beach

Hello from Venice Beach! We've packed everything we need for our stop in this slightly quirky, laid-back beach town: skateboard, 2-Pac, a pair of Vans, and in general, lots of neon. After we bum around the Boardwalk for a while (that includes a few pull-ups at Muscle Beach), we're off to Abbot Kinney to shop, followed by vintage hunting at the Venice flea market. We'll have a slice of margherita pizza at Gjelina, then a few sunset beers at Venice Ale House, and end the night with dancing at The Townhouse.

Click to see the items we packed, and stay tuned to see where we land next!
