I’m the one who loves to peer out the airplane window. I mean, I don’t get to see the earth from up here very often and it still blows me away. Yes, I’ll take the window seat every time!
Anyways, Koa and I have returned home to Austin after a long weekend in Southern California. It was a fun trip!
Koa and I are off for another weekend trip to California. This time, Koa will be rehearsing with his DCI team in Whittier, while I’ll be hanging out in Torrance and Redondo Beach with family. It should be a fun and productive trip!
The airplane we are flying on is sporting a San Francisco Giants logo, which is weird since we are traveling from Austin to Los Angeles. I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re refused landing by the control tower at LAX!
Just kidding! (Go Dodgers!)
Today Mariko and I went down to the Redondo Beach Pier to walk around for a bit. We come here every year it seems, and it has stayed relatively the same all this time. Of course there are a few changes, such as the Fun Factory being gone, but landmarks such as Quality Seafood, Naja’s, and Tony’s still remain. 😊
Usually one of the first meals we have when we visit family in Torrance is CoCo Ichibanya curry, but this year we opted to try Josui Ramen. It was yummy! The service wasn’t the best (and the timing of when the food came out was not optimal), but the portions were large and the broth was delicious and very hot. Recommended!
