AJ was gone to Berkeley to do research for eight.whole.days and I decided that it would be a great idea to sleep train Maddie while he was gone. (WHY!?) So I have been exhausted and irritable and wayyyy off this blogging train lately. BUT AJ is home, Maddie is sleeping through the night, and I am back to blogging!! So strap in for some whirl wind posts :)
Two weekends ago my bestie from college Kelley came to LA! She got here on Thursday night, we ate at home and shared a bottle of wine on the balcony catching up. Friday she did the typical tourist thing while I was at work and we met back up for dinner!
The Boiling Crab is this super cute, low key tiny chain in LA. You pick your seafood, then your sauce, and they boil it all up and serve it to you in a plastic bag! No plates or utensils -- parchment paper, a roll of paper towels and a can of beer. YUM.
Saturday morning we rented bikes in Santa Monica and rode from SM down to Venice.
Baby girl LOVED being in the pull behind carrier, but only lasted about 5 minutes before she was OUT!
It was such an overcast/cool day.. perfect for getting in several miles :)
We grabbed poke bowls for lunch then headed home to rest up before our wine tasting. We went to this great little spot in West Hollywood and got there right after someone had just proposed!
Next on the list was High Rooftop in Venice for happy hour.
Big shout out to Daddy holding down the fort to make this girls night possible :)
My phone died after this pic, so I don't have pictures of us cheering on the Dawgs at that little bar behind us, or our amazing dinner at Rose (also in Venice..)
Sunday morning we took on a ridiculously steep hike to the Wisdom Tree.
The hike was quick, but HARD and totally worth this view. And that pup of ours may or may not have pulled me down the entire mountain...
After our hike we had some well deserved beers at Golden Road Brewery.
Next guest to come see us in Cali - you are for sure coming here!! It is such a cute place.. family and dog friendly with corn hole and giant connect four.
I wish this place wasn't so far from our house -- we would totally go every weekend! And Maddie girl loved having auntie Kell there to play and share fries with :)
It did this Mama's soul some good having Kelley in town! We had such an amazing time and can always pick right back up where we left off, whether it was 2 weeks or year. THANK YOU for coming to see us Kell Bell!! We love you!!
