LA....
Gorgeous views on the hike to the back of the Hollywood Sign
Puffy ankles and steady-as-she-goes at 33 and 34 weeks pregnant
Savory, slurpable Ramen
Spying a dramatic tv episode filming on Santa Monica Pier
San Diego....
Glorious sunsets reflecting in tide pools
Seal pups playing with their mommas in the surf
Magnificent tacos and pancakes
Candy for dinner
The Desert + Palm Springs....
A colorful hotel and even more colorful locals
Shakes so good you go back for seconds
A mountain built in response to the agape love of God
Joshua Tree....
Glowing cacti and trees outstretched to the sky
Climbs on mammoth boulder heaps
Long baths under the balmy, starlit sky
And then home again with hugs for our terribly missed little girl!
