When Lori and I were first talking about her coming out …. She asked, “Have you ever been to the Getty? Is it good?”
Um, yes. I’ve been to the Getty – it might be my favorite place in L.A.
So, Sunday afternoon we headed over to the Getty … it was SUCH a [...]
Sunday morning when Lori was in town, Andrew also had off, so we brainstormed an activity that we could do together…
Enter: Sunday morning beach visit.
Andrew and I really enjoy going to the beach early on a weekend morning … before the bulk of the people get there.
This particular morning was *extremely* [...]
The Saturday Lori was in town, we didn’t have anything specific in mind, so I went to MuseumsLA.org and just browsed ….
Do you have any idea how many museums there are in L.A.?? Once again, I love this city.
One thing I love about Lori is that she is SO smart and she [...]
I love living in L.A……
I love having a reason to go to touristy things….
So when my friend Lori came out for the weekend (and I had an excuse to take time off of work) we FILLED our weekend with the sights (sites?) of Los Angeles…
Luckily for me, Andrew got off early [...]
So… I’m blogging from my iPhone for the first time …
This weekend we’re in Palm Springs with some friends staying at the super cute boutiquey ACE Hotel.
We already visited a mid century modern furniture store (so so cute), hung out by the pool a bit, and now Andrew is on [...]
Pepperdine’s annual memorial to 9/11 is up all this week : the Wave of Flags
We went saw the exhibit 2 years ago, and then again this past weekend (the last time we came was a sunny noon visit, this time was morning and foggy)
Yes, you can swim with sharks in the wild.
Last year, when we went down to San Diego to visit our friend (and former bridesmaid) Jamie, she let us know that Leopard Sharks come to La Jolla every year so you can snorkel with them. In the wild. Not in a tank.
Awesome.
And [...]
I love love love pretty much anything mid-century.
Let’s face it. I pretty much wish I was born in 1934 like my grandparents so I could have lived through mid-century America.
I have been waiting my whole life (not an exaggeration) for mid-century style to come back.
I got a new soundtrack on CD [...]
Ok, not *technically* the Beatles ….
Although, they DID perform at the Hollywood Bowl (waaay back in 1964-5 I think) …. And recorded an album (The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl)
(video below … blame the poor sound quality on the legions of crazy fans)
Last Saturday, we ALSO saw the Beatles at [...]

I lived in Santa Clarita for something like 16 or 17 years and I never ever went to the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival (formerly the ‘Cowboy Poetry Festival’) …. but as soon as we move to Encino, there we were. back in SCV!
Every April for a full weekend the city of Santa Clarita [...]
On our way home from San Simeon, we stopped by Morro Bay …
It was a bit windy.
After driving around the town a bit, we stopped by a little hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant for lunch. It’s always weird choosing places like that. But it was SUPER busy, so how [...]
Before we leave San Simeon for the foreseeable future ….. Just a glimpse at the San Simeon Lodge where we stayed (and where you should stay when you go to visit Hearst Castle).
This is the hotel that is *closest* to the edge of the Hearst land …. This is the hotel that is [...]
Finishing up our tour on Saturday morning of Hearst Castle ….
As we left we kitchen …. we exited the house (that word is used very loosely) into this little outdoor niche …. with more walls not quite finished …
Julia Morgan‘s little [...]
