As March comes to an end, so do the posts about our SoCal trip. (I don't think I'm ready for it to end!)
Monday, we spent the day in Hollywood & Beverly Hills!
But that morning, we had breakfast with Becky! It honestly felt like seeing family, and I'm already excited about living close to her after so many years!
our first stop was at the Griffith Observatory
The Beverly Wilshire Hotel where they filmed Pretty Woman
& the Oscar for best real life hubby goes to....Guilherme Oliveira!!! (you're always a winner to me babe)
The Walk of Fame
This is the home of Tia Ro's friends that live on the hills of Beverly Hills. You can actually see their place driving up to the conservatory. Their home is a dream and this picture does not do it justice. The couple that lives here spends most of their year living in other countries. They have spent their lives traveling together (they married in Fiji!) and have been to over 130 countries so their home is filled with art & treasures from around the world. One of their favorite places is Rio (of course!), where they met my aunt many years ago.
Driving up the hills, we got to a dead end and encountered a huge gate you couldn't see through. I don't know who's living behind that gate but we loved their view.
Tuesday, g's birthday! We wen't downtown in the morning to get him a couple jersey's and after we left we knew we had to stop at In-N-Out because we were leaving Cali that night (& you know we stopped at Marshalls!)
Our opinion about In-N-Out: not worth the hype.Yes, it's a must visit when you're in the west coast but in our opinion, we'd choose M Burger or Portillo's (Chicago favorites) over their burger any day. Sorry Californians! Please don't throw stones. :)
I am very proud of this family portrait! Getting a hyper dog to look at you while taking her photo is no small thing!
debuting my first Anthropologie dress for hubby's day!
the owner of the bike they were posing with wanted to get in the picture too! lol
We had dinner on Huntington Beach at Duke's. Duke was a famous surfer in Hawaii, so the dishes are inspired by Hawaiian cuisine! We definitely recommend eating here if you're in the area!
look at this view!
It was so fun getting to reminisce on these days in California with our family & friends through these SoCal posts. More than ever (thanks to the never ending bipolar weather we've been having) we hope it call it home soon. Thanks for reading!
