personal

My uncle lives in Culver City, a section in Los Angeles that is super hip, highly desirable, and walkable to everything and anything. We LOVE it there. Because there were so many of us, Cruzzie and I stayed in a hotel that was 0.5 miles away from my uncle house. It was uber hip and fun to stay at.

The downstairs was a restaurant that people ate at for all meals of the day — although I never ate there, I loved the vibe.

It was also a step away from the Culver Steps — a super hip area with Erewhon, other restaurants and stores, a movie theatre, etc…

The Proskurowski family — and the steps behind us.

Culver City is the heart of the movie industry — and here is the lion from the Wizard of Oz.

Celebrating my uncle’s birthday at an incredible restaurant.

Having my bootie baby come from Ojai to LA to celebrate was a family highlight.

Ping Pong — a lot of Ping Pong.

Love having an adventure to go on — so this was fun to find two different space invaders in to different parts of town.

The second one.

When we were exploring and trying to locate the second space invader, we came across a house that had an open house. We thought it was a really nice looking house and wanted to see more. And hot damn, was it so cool and different. We had a great talk with the realtor (he was like a stand up comedian) and loved the multi-generational house lay out.

It was three different buildings — and all so different and unique.

This was the outside the lured us in. I thought it as one house — the wooden one, but it also included the silver one next door on the neighboring lot.

Totally unique and different.

Lots of outdoor spaces everywhere.

Three days in Los Angeles meant three runs, and lots of walks. This is one of my all time favorite runs along the canal.

I also did a trail run. Less fun but gorgeous views.
