As noted, Shawn and I had a fab fun weekend in L.A., mostly in Santa Monica. Here is a sort of photo diary including the pool at the Viceroy, poke from Poke Poke, the Pool Bar at the Beverly Hills Hotel (I “needed” a beach towel from the gift shop), chicken from Cha Cha Chicken, and bread pudding from Schultzies.
It was weekend of high and lows, including Venice street food and the aforementioned beach towel that cost a handsome $85 (worth it though!)
