My good friend came to visit us in LA this past weekend! I’m so glad she was able to make it out here, so we could show her a bit of our life here in Southern California. It’s so great catching up with an old friend. We kept busy and had a great time!

Saturday morning we had brunch in Marina del Rey and lounged on the beach. It was a great beach day…warm and sunny! After cooking dinner back at home, we caught an improv show at UCB and had some frozen yogurt to top off the night.

Sunday we went to the Melrose Trading Post Flea Market, and I came home with a letter opener (finally! I know, old lady alert) and a really cool wooden owl that makes a “hoot” sound when you blow through it. We grabbed lunch at The Farmer’s Market, and later that afternoon we went on a short hike to see the city.

My husband gave me a wonderful massage and spa day at Spa Montage for my birthday (which is today, by the way!). Lindsy and I went together yesterday, and it was absolutely wonderful: the best massage I’ve ever had! I’ve only had a couple professional massages before, but it’s so nice to get pampered every once in a while. I loved it. Tonight he is taking me to see a movie! Thank you to the best husband in the world. 🙂

To being another year older!
