Hello, everyone! Abe and I (Allison) are finally back from sunny California. I had to go to LA for business, so Abe flew out and we tagged on some extra days to enjoy a break from the frozen tundra of Chicago.
First, I stayed in Santa Monica, which was convenient for my work obligations. Actually, we had a day between work events (by design), so the group of us went to Universal Studios, where we saw actress Brittany Murphy on the backlot.
On Saturday, Abe and I met his aunt, uncle and their teenage sons at Chinatown for Dim Sum and shopping. We saw traditional lion dances for Chinese New Year, so that was cool.
We spent the last couple of days in the Newport Beach-Laguna Beach-Huntington Beach area. Below is a picture of sunset on Laguna Beach.
Our favorite place, though, was Huntington Beach, were we spent Tuesday at the pier watching surfers and dolphins. It was awesome.
This was my first time to LA, and I really enjoyed it. Yes, traffic stinks and home prices are through the roof, but those are things we have to deal with in Chicago, to some extent. Abe and I really enjoyed our rental car's sunroof and satellite radio. :)
So, now we're back...bundled in sweatshirts and thawing out from another commute home in the cold. Please come soon, spring!
Also, I wanted to say kudos to my smart husband (in Cantonese, my ho lack lo.) He got an "A" in his most recent MBA class. Good job, honey! :)
