Before 2014 Ends...Part III

Last post on my trip to LA. Oh, I miss you so much already.

Just another sunny day in La La land.

Went shopping at APC in Beverly Hills- loved too many things there.  Hubs walked out with a pair of raw denim pants.  

The fit is p.e.r.f.e.c.t.

Kelly Wearstler - omg.

Next time, Claire.  Next time.

Fresh Meyer lemons from our family friend's yard.  Thank you for letting us stay at your home. You spoiled us silly.

Treated myself to this mag at the airport on our way back to Philly.  I loved every single page of this issue. 

So peeps, that's it.  2014 is closing its curtains on us.  I have such mixed emotions about the end of 2014 and beginning of 2015.  More so than the recent years.  Perhaps, it's because I turned 40 in 2014... or because I had certain goals I really wanted to achieve in that are still being worked on... or there have been some significant happenings and changes around me (my folks recent move, my husband's newly developed obsession with cycling, my friends having babies...).  I feel anxious yet positively excited about 2015.  One goal remains the same every year:  I'm going to try to make every day count and appreciate all the "good" around me.  

Happy New Year~~

Before 2014 Ends...Part II

We took a break from visiting Colorado this winter. Instead, we went to California.  I've visited California once before but it was a very short weekend trip, spent mostly at a hotel doing work.  So, you can imagine I was beyond excited to re-visit California for real.  

We hiked up the trail to the Griffith Observatory and continued further up until we reached the Hollywood sign.  

We also went to the Zuma Beach in Malibu.  As you can imagine, during this time of the year, there weren't that many people.  I ran along the ends of the waves, smiling ear to ear, and screaming whenever the water splashed above my knees.  It sounds cheesy but I  really felt like a little kid and that was a good thing. 

We took a quick trip to Korean town in Los Angeles and enjoyed some delectable dishes from POT.  

More photos from my California trip to come!   

Before 2014 Ends... Part I

I've neglected this place for some time.  And now that 2014 is almost over, I'm feeling sorry that I didn't document some of the more memorable moments here.  

These are the photos from my trip to the Adventure Aquarium with my nephew, Lukie, a week after Thanksgiving Day.  How did I never visit this place??!!  

Next up - photos from my CA trip over Christmas week.
