Our Memorial Day Weekend (or #MDW as avid instagrammers so properly coined as the official hashtag) was the most fantastic weekend.
We had the perfect balance of fun and relaxation. We kicked the weekend off with a trip to Hollywood, where we went to this little Cuban speakeasy. I love speakeasys and the history that comes along with them, so I was in heaven. We went to brunch in LA the next day and saw a few B-list celebs which is always kind of fun. That night, my best girlfriends and I got together for dinner which is SO rare nowadays. We all live in different places so when we all get together, it’s a real treat.
The next day started with Zoey sunbathing at Grandma’s house (my mom, her Grandma ;)), and ended with a shopping trip and dinner at the Irvine Spectrum. Before we left for the spectrum, we had to stop and try a new Hawaiian Shaved Ice place nearby and drove past “Nikki’s Bakery”, an adorable little stand outside our apartment with about 5 little girls selling cupcakes. We couldn’t not stop. It was too adorable. I immediately regretted not taking a picture of the cupcake stand but I also didn’t want to look like a creep taking pictures of children that aren’t mine.
Memorial day itself was spent lounging in bed, doing a bit of spring cleaning, and heading out for a hike in Crystal Cove which is right down the street from us. The hike is 5 miles, and half of it is uphill with a view of some small mountains, but the next half of the hike is pure ocean views. It was SO beautiful and I want to go every weekend. It’s right down the street so there’s really no reason not to.
I hope you all had a fantastic Memorial Day and a BIG thank you to all of the veterans out there who pay the price for our freedom!
Looks like such a beautiful weekend. Those summery couple pictures are perfection. So sweet!
