I finally have been going through all our vacation photos and decided to post them up to the blog in 2 parts mostly becuase of course I want to show too many to you all and the whole scrolling down thing may get annoying after oh about image #57.  Kidding I didn’t post that many.  Just 48 in this one post- Ha!

While in LA we stayed at our friend Jordan’s house and these first 4 images are from around his house.  Oh and the 1st day we got there it was like 78 degrees and it hadn’t been that warm out there for months.  We got lucky that’s for sure.

Venice Beach at sunset, it was one of the most beautiful sunsets we saw out there.  I have to say being from the east coast that watching the sun set over the water will never get old to me. 🙂

Next up is Malibu where we ate way too much food and took a long walk so we didn’t die of a food coma.  Seriously we ate way.too.much.

Our future home on the below left:

On the way back we stopped in Santa Monica for oh wait for it, watching another sunset!  Ha- get the theme here?  It’s all about relaxing.

Couldn’t get enough of these flowers in the pretty California light.  The light was BEAUTIFUL Nadya!

I knew my mom would love this next one with the terracotta pots:

Thanks to Jordan for these fun ones of us:

The last morning in LA we headed up to the Griffith Observatory , which was probably the most tourist-y thing we did on this vacation.  It was very clear and we were able to see all of LA from up there.

LOVE this one Jordan took of us:

AND of course some tourist-y fun before heading down to the OC.  Thanks so much Jordan for having us!  We had a blast and hope to do it again sooner than later.

Stay tuned for part 2 from our California trip next week.  Oh and all you east coasters, I’m so glad we brought you back the warm Cali weather.  You’re welcome:)  Go out and enjoy it!
