Afternoon in Pasadena


Last weekend Jake and I went to Pasadena for the sunny afternoon. It was my first time there and I loved old town! We stopped for lunch at Brothers' Pies n' Fries and had the BEST pizza ever. Their pizzas are huge and they also serve 4 different kinds of fries. The brothers were actually the ones making the pizza and we met one of their wives who took our order. They were all so nice, offering us samples, so we promised them we would be back soon!


Next we stopped by the Huntington Library and botanical gardens. Unfortunately, due to the fact that it is COLD and winter in Southern California, most of the flowers and plants were dead. The rose garden was more like a thorn garden. Will have to revisit in the Spring. 

Next adventure... driving to Albuquerque, NM and back in one weekend!

Another LA Experience


Last week in sunny LA we were experiencing a drought so we had no idea it would start pouring while we were at the outdoor venue at Jimmy Kimmel Live!


Jimmy showed up after the rain stopped to announce Sara Bareilles.


Once again, she was an amazing performer. She is so talented, adorable and down to earth. Getting soaking wet was worth it! Next talk show stop....Ellen!!

 

Puppy Post


Took this lil guy to the beach a few weeks ago down in Huntington Beach. I was so nervous to let him off the leash! He ran around like crazy, was terrified of the waves and ate a LOT of seaweed. All in all it was a good trip. Riggins loves playing with other pups and he wore himself out swimmin' all day.
