LA for the weekend

oh los angeles, how we love you.

it was so fun to come back to the city where we started 

the first summer of our married life.

husband said it almost felt like coming home in a way, and i agree.

we love love love living in the bay area, but something about LA also calls to us.

we're so lucky we got to live there and now get to live in nor cal..but

maybe one day we will find our way back down to southern cal.

for now, we just have to enjoy our fun trips there!

after our amazing road trip down the pacific coast highway, we arrived in LA.

it was fun to have a reason to be there: our utes were in town playing UCLA

at the rose bowl! we loved seeing our team play {despite the loss} and we saw so 

many friends from home who were there for the game! football, friends, & fun!

fun to see all of these friends! it's so nice to see familiar 

faces from home when we're living away...

at least it was a close game, and fun to be at the rose bowl.

aside from the game, we enjoyed some favorite spots in LA...

we loved staying with our friend brady in his nice 

beverly hills apartment..we just want to move in!

we all went to the grove for some good food and shopping. i ruined the boys night 

by not going to see taken 2, but then we saw that it had terrible reviews so i don't feel too bad!

we had fun shopping and brady agreed that i probably need this zara trenchcoat... 

so i can't wait for christmas chase!!! :)

 after the football game we hung out with our friends richie & sarajane 

who are living in LA for a little bit longer..we were so happy to be able to see them!

we stayed in pasadena and got some amazing {spicy} mexican food and some orange halloween crepes!

 

on sunday we managed to get a little beach time in at santa monica.

we grabbed some lunch from california's best sandwich spot togo's,

took them to the beach, and soaked up some sun before heading back up to the bay.

 
until next time, LA!
