Midwest in the East Ventures West

Though my roots are in the Midwest, and I've been living on the East Coast for a little over a year, this past weekend I ventured to the West Coast for the first time.

LA to be specific.

I found the traffic to be more than a little annoying, the lack of personal style disappointing, and the general lack of "city"to be a true flaw. The palm trees, however, definitely reminded me that yes, this is a nice place. A very nice place.

When it's 80 degrees and sunny every single day... how could it not be?

Turns out LA is great. A little slow, but definitely great.

And the sunset above, taken in Venice, was definitely a heart stealer. 

All I can say, can't wait to go back.
