On the 23rd of June we made the trek from Orange County into LA to go to the Police Concert at Dodger Stadium. We had been looking forward to this little bit of history and to being able to be a part of it.
Most of the trip is pretty straight forward - just lots of cars and billboards for miles!
Straight up the I-5 Freeway for almost an hour and you're almost there... then it's a bit of a maze. Los Angeles is like a huge bowl of spaghetti! You have to really be concentrating. We actually missed our exit coming home and ended up driving around for an hour before we were back on track.
This is Dodger Stadium (with LA central in the background). It's probably a great Baseball venue but it's not a great concert venue. The sound was very disappointing and the view wasn't too good either unless you were directly in front. However there were a lot of good songs and everyone was singing along whenever they could (55,000 of them!) so there was a great atmosphere.
We thought we'd get into the spirit of things and because we were at the famous Dodger Stadium I had a beer and a hot dog and Ali had a margarita and a hot dog. Yep, classic American culture.
When we came out of the concert we came out a different way than we went in and couldn't find our car in the parking lot for about half an hour. We obviously weren't the only ones as there was a cacophony of car horns and alarms blaring as people tried to locate their cars. Once we realized we were in the wrong car park completely it didn't take too long to find our car. Funny that!
We ended up finally getting home at about 1am and getting about 5 hours sleep before we had to get up and set up for church. So overall it was a great experience and it was worth it for the memories.
