CALI // pt. 3

We went to a place called The Lab, which was a renovated night vision lab, turned anti mall. It was basically hipster heaven. They had Urban Outfitters, Buffalo Exchange and lots of other little shops and thrift stores. I loved the open space and all of the fun things to look at. The local cafe made us the best chai tea I think I've ever had!

The Mr took me to his favorite place that him and his family would visit, Santa Monica Pier. It was kind of a glum day, so there weren't too many crowds, and it made our walk nice and cool! I just loved the view and wished we could've gone swimming. I just love love the beach! I grew up by the beach, so I really miss it! It was great just walking along, eating ice cream and laughing. This day was perfect.

CALI // PT.1

We stayed with Elisha's Grandmother while we were in California. It was the sweetest little home, filled with natural light, tiny treasures and the friendliest animals! I didn't get a photo of her two cats, but they were beautiful. Jack, the dachshund, fell asleep with me every night! (leaving him was a hard goodbye) The more I looked around her home, the more I saw what similar taste we have!
