Nicole and I went to California for the weekend and stayed with my sister.
I introduced her to the joy of a trip theme song. Because every good trip needs one. and deciding on a song keeps you occupied on a long drive. We listened to a lot of music, but in the end there was only one song that was fitting for our trip. “Coming in Hot” by Lecrae and Andy Mineo.
It was the red rental car, the hot tamales in my bag, the California sun, the hiking and running...it was meant to be our song. And so I blasted it too many times. I made sure to play it every time we pulled up to a new destination. Because we were coming in hot. Just like the fajita.
We left on a Friday and had a close call with running out of gas. In that instance we were coming in on fumes, not so much hot.
Jenny works for DC comics now and had these super costumes laying around her house. We had some fun with her roommates too and made up a dance.
We hiked and ran the Los Liones trail Saturday morning. I have always had a love for trail running so it was a highlight of the trip for me.
We followed those seven miles up with my first experience at a Raman restaurant and then treats at Milk Bar.
It is dangerous having Milk Bar down the road from Jen’s house. We were seriously there three times in 24 hours.
Those birthday cake truffles! And the strawberry lemon ones, too. Yum.
After our first experience at Milk Bar we did some shopping. Sun bracelets because we were coming in hot.
And saw this wild street performer.
We saw the beach as the sun set.
And then hunted down a Korean Mexican fusion food truck—Kogi. It was worth the wait and the drive and the search!
We ventured out on another hike the next morning. Our destination was the Hollywood sign. Not the best for hiking, but something cool to say that we’ve done in our life.
Which meant we were deserving of a delicious lunch at La Brea and more Milk Bar.
We spent a short time at the beach (more time driving, parking, and walking there than sitting in the sand), but it was exactly what I needed. (And we finished up taking the videos for our trip them song music video.)
See, we were coming in hot all weekend! Such a fabulous trip.
