california knows how to party

Matthew and I just indulged in a week long trip (without the kids) to Los Angeles to visit friends. Here are some highlights.


...staying with Taidgh and Stephanie and chilling in their back yard under the orange tree...


...visiting the desert...


....eating all sorts of Korean, Mexican, Japanese, and Brazilian food...


...getting a private tour of a Greene and Greene home (one of Matthew's favorite architects)...


...watching a pirate and viking confrontation being filmed...?...


...being at opening night for a gallery show Taidgh put on in his garage, and wearing douchey shades like LA art snobs...



...going to The Museum of Jurassic Technology...holy shit...I don't know what to say...Taidgh told us to go there. He said he thinks of it as a "metaphor for the city of Los Angeles"...pure magic...



...this mind-blowing trim store where I'm pretty sure I could find anything I want. I was too overwhelmed to even try...




...spending one night in a swanky hotel downtown. Everything about The Standard is fresh and sexy, especially the rooftop bar and pool...
