Our New Orleans trips have a “getting home to SoCal” tradition.  Once we land at LAX (usually late at night), we hit the In-N-Out on Sepulveda for some burgers (preferably Animal Style) and fries.

Having just returned the good Dr. Lambrinos to LAX for his connecting flight up to Oregon I decided to make the ceremonial stop at the reigning temple of SoCal fast food culture.  This happened even though my family had just satiated John and me with drinks and food for the past few hours on a balcony in Manhattan Beach while we passed the hours of his layover.

Tradition are traditions afterall…Although it would have been nice to have one final pow-wow here in SoCal.
