Hello, twenty-three

Early morning in LA

As my memory has proven to be inefficient years down the line, I tried to document this February 17th a bit better. I wrote extensively about it in my real-life journal, so I won't go to in depth. Just know that there was lots of sun, good company, a long day at the beach, an amusement park on the pier, and some pancakes involved.

Bay Cities in Venice. World famous, apparently. 

ooooh, it's getting serious. shoes comin' off.

Sunset from Venice Beach. Towards the right you can see Malibu extending out, trying to touch the sun.

Juniper vs. Ivy

Overall, it was a pretty lo-key day - hopefully a sign of what the year will bring me (good friends, good food, good beer, and lots of smiles)
