wait, vacation=eating, right?

no i'm not eating a quarter of a watermelon at 11 at night.
no i'm not wearing the same clothes i was wearing yesterday.

i'm just gonna give a disclaimer that this post is mainly a visual ramble.
you've been warned.
but really though, enjoy the food porn.
and the fine quality of my iphone pictures.
[we're on a plane.]
[no, the camera isn't adding 10 pounds, this croissant was literally king kong.]
[pool bums. yes, the beach is seconds away but it doesn't have fluffy blue chairs!]

[hole in the wall burger. pretzel bun. grilled onions. packed with veggies. how could i not throw a pucker for that beaut?]
[gelato that me and court sprinted for in the ten minutes we had before batman started. we're fat. technically we sprinted though. just saying...]
[she's finally joined the MK watch ranks.]
[ham and cheese crepe. it's no france, but i'll take it. and take it i did.]
[fresh caprese sandwich from bay cities with literally the chewiest bread ever.]
[the godmother. indescribable, but let's just say i'd be okay with it being my guardian if my parents died. badumbumpshhh.]
[what? you don't put salted dark chocolate in your hot french bread? shame shame.]
[china just gets me. haha but seriously, could not be more opposite.]
[beautiful sunday walk along venice beach.]
[venice canals that i WILL own a house on someday and canoe up and down the river every day.]
[i can haz them??]

[at home in my own home.]
[i don't know what's more pathetic, the fact that we sucked at running or the fact that we got croissants and breakfast sandwiches right after.]
[cue breakfast sandwich that was literally the hardest thing to eat. amazingly delicious. but put me on my deathbed. and yet, i still couldn't put it down.]
[cookie that court chucked into the street because she's a jerk.]
[heading to the beach with my favorite little sweet peas.]

[ben and jerry's round one.]
[can't tell you how much i love my little kiddos. they have my heart!]
[hey, sweet shoes jit...]
[barrata cheese and olive oil with grilled grapes and chewy french bread from stella rossa. never fails to make me fall in love.]
[half kale half something that was amazing that i don't remember=heaven.]

[no that's not a chocolate chip cookie with a rice krispy treat smashed in between...]
[the best almond croissants can be found at cielo's. they're also really good if you buy three of them.]
[court + meesh]
[food truck night taco.]
[ben and jerry's all day err day. but seriously, we had it like ten times.]

there's that one saying of how a picture's worth a thousand words.
let's just say if words were money, i'd have a good amount of money rolling from this post alone.
okay, what i'm trying to say is that a couple weeks back, me and court went to santa monica.
yup, just hopped on a plane and went for about a week.
it was seriously one of the funner trips i've ever taken, 
and that may or may not be because we ate an obviously ridiculous amount of amazing food.

moments that hit the spot were: cuddling up with my sweet eva, gizzy, kohlter, and jit [not enough! stay with me forever], laughing our butts off with franny and jay, talking to the super famous actress from the geico commercial that "knows allllll the advertising agencies on the east coast", wandering main street with court and jit looking for cheesecake [mind you we had already devoured dinner] only to actually buy a gross tres leches cake, a random smoothie, and have a heart attack from almost knocking over an entire shelf of metal bottles at urth cafe ["urth quake!" hahaha], vintage shopping to find the most adorable purse for me and dress for court, and almost peeing myself trying to find a bathroom on venice beach, eating an insane amount of food and loving every single minute of it, walking home from mao's and having to pee so bad ["i'm gon' blank in yo car!"].

it was a good trip for so many reasons that i can't explain, 
and for that, thank my lucky stars for pictures.
right?? say yes.

  1. YES!! All of that food looks incredible! Like why have I not had any of that before and why am I wasting my time in AZ when I could be in Santa Monica. Thanks a lot for inviting me...I see how it is. Maria, Franny, Jit, and you and not me? Just rude. :)

    PS...love all of your striped shirts. Speaking of striped shirts, I know that you stole my Gray and White one. I know it holds dentimental value from your date you had, but I want it back! I paid good money ($2.97) at LC for that!
