Strawberry Picking

I wanted to take her to pick strawberries last year but never got the chance. This year we went on the first weekday that was slow and had nice weather. We had a fun time with just the two of us.

Eating an apple after picking strawberries.

 Our friends saw our pictures on instagram and asked us to go the following week after dance.

 We have been realizing how affectionate we are in our house lately by watching G. She is always holding hands or hugging someone. 

We finished the day with a quiet (not at all) lunch at chick-fil-a. We had our very FIRST public accident. After a year  (a YEAR!!!!) of being potty trained she decided to pee on the floor of the playground which caused it to get shut down. Well done Graysen, well done. 

She wasn't embarrassed at all.

A Spring Weekend

 A weekend with no plans-what were we to do?

Swim with our main man.

 Get all the noodles out for the first time this year.

 Dance the first of many dances that weekend.

 Eat Menchie's until...

 we got a cold headache.

 Soak in the sun while flying a kite.

 Catch up on reading and take a few naps.

 Swim some more.

 Clean the patio furniture (Shawn actually thought this was fun)

Make ribs on the primo for the first time.

 Enjoy a few meals outside.

And end the weekend with an evening golf cart ride.

 

L.A Girls Weekend

 After a very planned vacation the week before it was nice to get on a plane and head out to sunny LA with no major itinerary. 

 This is ALWAYS our first stop when we land.

I finally got a room at the Chateau Marmont and fell even more in love with the hotel. It has the cutest courtyard in the middle that serves as a restaurant/bar and has the best people watching anywhere. We had been there for 15 minutes when the man of the hour in Hollywood came in. We happily watched Jared Leto work the room for the next four hours.

After two bottles of champagne we called it an early night. Steph made reservations at our favorite restaurant for lunch the next day and we ran into this awesome person. The valet guy was taking a picture with her so we just went for it and she was so nice.

 A trip up in the hills to see the Hollywood sign.

 and then dinner Roscoe's before the Kings.

 A beautiful drive down the coast to Malibu for lunch at Nobu.

 and a Meryl Davis and Maks spotting. We enjoyed the view.

 A visit to the pier and the LACMA ended the day.

 I flew back just in time to catch the end of the rodeo and ZBB.
