Many people consider getting away to Los Angeles for a weekend or longer a great opportunity for fun and some relaxation. Okay, maybe not relaxation, but definitely fun. Meanwhile, having been born and raised in Los Angeles, and still living there as an adult I recently got away for the weekend and went to Irvine for a some fun, excitement, and you guessed it, relaxation. Los Angeles is a great city and full of exciting entertainment and cultural options. However, one is unlikely to get a lot of rest while visiting that city. In addition, it can be a little difficult to get a lot of rest when one lives there. This is why I stress the importance of the peace and relaxation I experienced while staying in Irvine. People like me do the same thing every year, which is why the Irvine hotels and resorts remain full throughout the seasons.
I went with my good friend Charles. The two of us try and get out of the city at least twice a year though frequently we end up making the road trip up to San Francisco because it’s also a great place for fun and exciting adventures. However, last month we only had a two days and we just needed to get away. He had a friend who is a music student at UC Irvine and mentioned a concert that the school’s symphony was putting up that weekend. It sounded interesting and we could stay with Charles’ friend Mike, which meant that the whole weekend would be kind of cheap. UC Irvine has a really high quality music program, according to Charles and Mike, I’m not a musician, and the symphony is supposed to be really terrific. Well, I might not be one to give a critical evaluation, though I can certainly said I was impressed and really enjoyed it. The concert took place in the Irvine Barclay Theatre, which was a cool place to hear and see it. The next day we spent the afternoon relaxing and enjoying tossing a Frisbee around in the park. It was a beautiful afternoon and it felt great to alternate a bit of running and lying around in the grass. It was really a great weekend.
