We ate out at a restaurant!

As a FOURSOME!  Meaning all four of us ordered from the menu and ate the food that was prepared in a restaurant kitchen and I didn’t pack up ANYTHING to bring!! Weeee! It was a big moment. We went to Pushkin’s Restaurant (again) because it’s entirely gluten and dairy free, and remains one of the best brunches we’ve ever had.  They have a vegan menu too, although P wanted bacon and eggs so we didn’t regard that menu this time. They don’t even have (cow) butter on the premises!  They make everything – hollandaise, baked… Read more >

LA LA land, day 8

Last day of fun in the LA sun…started with a run on the beach. Followed by a cold shower (again!! gah!!) and a trip to Gjusta. The hype is for a reason.  The place is drool inducing and the people are all super friendly and nice and even though you feel pretentious for being there, there’s somehow the most laid back feel at the same time.  Everyone seemed to know everyone’s names and regulars were talking to the baristas, and they were super helpful EVEN THOUGH THEY DON’T SERVE DECAF. They also had an oven that… Read more >

LA LA land, day 7

Spring breakin’ like no other. I started the day in the most LA way I could.  With a spin class and then moon juice.  I couldn’t help but sip the kool aid.  It tastes like bee pollen and silver and alkaline water.  He he.  Kidding. I mostly took the spin class because our rental house’s hot water was out and I was really wanting a decent shower.  YAS was around the corner and I had such a good class earlier in the week so I went on their site and discovered a service called zenrez….

LA LA land, day 6

Flashback to the day before driving as distracted as ever on Autopia.  V was super into, can’t you tell?!?!  HA.  We thought the kids would sleep in since they were up so much longer and later the day before soaking in all the Disney mania, but no.  Up and at em before the sun.  Eesh. I went on a run and showered, while Kyle went on a run with V.  We timed everything out so that they met us at breakfast on the way back from their run. I’m already missing this place.  The Hive is… Read more >

LA LA land, day 4

The real world all went back to work on Monday, but we got to keep on vacationing.  🙂 Breakfast with my squad at Coral Tree Cafe. Kyle and I studied here together a few times in college…and went here on a date very early in our relationship…so even though the food is mediocre, it’s still a special place. We started with coffee and a chocolate chip scone.  The scone was delish.  Probably the best part of the meal. They charge an obscene 75 cents extra for soy milk (per cup), but were generous enough to give… Read more >
