good morning, LA!

hi from LA! 

we are down in so-cal this week, one of my favorite 

places to be. i love living in norcal but for some 

reason LA just makes me happy and kind of feels 

like home. maybe it's because we lived here when

we first got married, or because i came here so much 

growing up..but either way i love the feel and vibe 

and ... maybe i want to move down south, chase? :) 

anyway, we are spending this week in newport

beach with my family, but we came down a few 

days early to do some favorite things in los angeles, 

starting with a 6 mile run and some acai bowls at 

juice crafters! one of the best parts of LA is that 

acai bowls are on every corner, and juice crafters 

makes such great ones. plus, their juices...mmm!

^^ while we waited for acai bowls, we had some

immunity shots --- and boy are these shots.

lemon + ginger + cayenne = ouch! it clears you

out and hurts so good. the strawberry is the

perfect relief to go with the kick of cayenne.

then, the good stuff:

acai bowls are the best, and juice crafters

really does them right. i promise. that

coconut, the flavor of the acai, it's perfect.

it's family run, and they bring the acai 

over themselves. it's better than anything!

^^ look at that goodness! you have to try one if you haven't

then we continued our run through beverly hills, met up with

my dad and headed down to meet everyone in newport!

of course, with a stop at in-n-out on the way...

^^ and a stop at the LA google offices...

^^ not to mention a little game of "7-on-the-line"...which 

i WON...yes, beat both of the boys. i'm proud.

here's to a week ahead of fun in the sun!
