[74/365] Bench Overlooking the Oregon Coast, Cannon Beach, Oregon, USA
About a year ago this time, I took a trip to Oregon and we drove to the coast to see the beautiful Oregon coastline. Driving into the Ecola State Park, we came upon this bench on a grassy area overlooking the water. It was really windy, but seeing the coastline was well worth it!
[73/365] Runners, LA Marathon 2010, Los Angeles, California, USA
26.2 miles – that’s crazy! I could never imagine running that long! We were looking out for Myley and Lien to give them some support along the race route. Just a little before the 19th mile was the intersection of Overland and Santa Monica and that’s where we stood looking out for them and we […]
[72/365] Stadium to the Sea Medals, LA Marathon, Santa Monica, California, USA
Congratulations to Myley and Lien for finishing the LA Marathon with great times! We made these “medals” to give to them upon completion of the 26.2 miles. This year’s course was called “Stadium to the Sea” because it started at Dodger Stadium and ended up at Santa Monica Pier. Yay!
[71/365] Compass and Good Luck Charms, Great Urban Race, Los Angeles, California, USA
I wore this around my neck for the Great Urban Race as a good luck charm AND the compass was actually useful! I love my new compass – there’s just something about maps and directions that fascinates me! I’m going to put the compass on my keys so I’ll always know what direction I’m going […]

[69/365] Metro Station at Wilshire & Normandie, Los Angeles, California, USA
My office building just looks like a typical high rise on the way east towards Downtown. Ever since I started working there, I always saw escalators and stairs descending far underground. Last year, I finally got the chance to take the escalators down to take the Metro for the first time. In LA, I have […]
[68/365] Sunset at the Beach, Laguna Beach, California, USA
The weather in LA has been beautiful! Sunny days just naturally make me happier. This must mean its time to spend days outdoors and at the beach! That’s why I decided to post a beach picture today – this is from Laguna Beach as the sun was setting. Have a great day everyone!
[67/365] Encore Hotel Room, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Encore is a lovely hotel! It could be one of my favorites in Vegas (along with the Wynn and theVenetian). The view from our room was of the Las Vegas strip that never sleeps. Great view! We stayed there our last night in Vegas. Wish I didn’t have an early morning flight so that I […]
[66/365] Roses & Planes, Dress, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
I was drawn towards the print on the fabric of this dress (and of course I bought the dress!). At first glance, its odd to see planes mixed with roses, but I think it works! I mean, don’t you think those just logically go together?!
[65/365] The Alexandria Hotel, Los Angeles, California, USA
A famous LA landmark that one day hosted celebrities and several US Presidents, The Alexandria Hotel was by a busy part of Spring Street at Downtown LA Art Walk. It was built in 1906 by John Parkinson, responsible for other famous LA landmarks like the Los Angeles City Hall and Union Station. The Hotel is […]
