Back from LA: I returned last night from a great, non-work related, trip to LA. Some of the highlights included...
- The Huntington Library Gardens. Gardens included an herb garden, children's garden, Shakerspearean garden, rose garden (not many roses), Japanese garden, and overall gorgeous grounds.
- Silver Lake neighborhood. Cool vintage shops. Hip people. Bought a cool new "un-Kim" shirt.
- Malibu. Wow! We took a beautiful drive through Laurel Canyon, where I exclaimed "Oh my God, look at THAT house" about 300 times, and ended overlooking the ocean. We took a nice little walk to look out over the water and drove down the PCH through Malibu to Santa Monica. Love it!
- Fabulous food. Dinner at Mexican restaurant that has no written menu but a fabulous five course meal, and at a sorta Carribean/Latin tapas place. A fabulous breakfast with eggs, fabulous homefries, 9 grain toast, and turkey sausage (and a gorgeous waiter). PLUS $1 ice cream sandwiches at a place where you pick two warm homemade cookies and your flavor of ice cream!!!!!
- Wonderful company. I had a great visit with both Paul and Judi. I wish that it wasn't so far to LA, as I would go more often if I could. The airfare is reasonable and I just love seeing my friends out there. If only there weren't 3000 miles between here and there.
