LA and Ojai

A trip to LA is not complete without a stop at In and Out. Even if I am meat free for months, I can't resist!

Some other food I enjoyed on this trip was ice cream at Mashti Malones, food from the LA Hollywood Farmers Market, Ford's (finally!) another trip to M Cafe de Chaya.

We walked through Griffith Park, felt old at Ketchup and spent hours in the Museam of Jurassic Technology, right in Culver City! A MUST for any visitor to LA.

For the last weekend of my trip, I headed out to Ojai Valley Inn & Spa. Along the way I stopped at Anacapa Brewing (Pierpoint IPA). The Valley Inn & Spa was incredible, the service is not what I am used to, it was almost embarrassing! I thought the Kuyam Morocaan Mud Treatment was different but you will just have to try it yourself. Went hiking in Matilija Canyon and enjoyed some meals at Suzanne's Cuisine and the Ranch House.

Jazz at Barge Music

The night before I left for LA, Shaun and I met in Brooklyn at the Fulton Ferry Landing at the Barge. It was Jazz Night with the Judy Carmichael Trio, guitar, trumpet and piano. It was a beautiful program and romantic setting. A nice send off. A sample of Judy Carmichael's piano tunes.
