I took a short (2 day!) trip to LA this weekend to visit some dear friends. Since all I really knew about California was from Snoop Dogg Lyrics & "The OC", I wasn't prepared to fall in love with LA as quickly as I did. Even though it's been a mild winter in New England, it was pretty amazing to have my feet in sandals & wear a sundress.
I flew in at night so I didn't get a chance to take in the blue skies & palm trees until the next morning. My friend Jenny & I went for a walk along the "Strand" in Manhattan Beach and I was able to check out some insane properties (Wikipedia says that a half acre of land here goes for $35 million).

Most of the waterfront homes boasted some porches with comfy deck furniture. There were some crazy outdoor kitchens, beautiful rustic dining tables, & even a few hot tubs. Since I feel a little rude posting pictures of the private homes, I'll share with you the gorgeous view they look out over:
I'm about to hop on a plane back to Boston. Goodbye sun & sand & houses on the sweet, sweet Strand (stay huge & stay homey).
Oh beautiful California weather!
