Quick Trip to Pasadena

The weekend before Thanksgiving I got the chance to have an overnighter in Altadena/Pasadena. The official occasion was movie night for the final Hunger Games movie, but really it’s just an excuse for me to come down and hang out with friends. Altadena never ceases to amuse — here Jerri and I share the road with a horse.

Saturday included a quick visit to Lavender & Honey for toast with avocado and marinated jalapeños (yum!), pedicures, and relaxing at the Heffernans before dinner at El Cholo and the movie with the ladies. It’s always so great to catch up with everyone.

The next morning, Jerri and I hiked to Echo Mountain. It was a beautiful and remarkably clear day.

We took the obligatory selfie at the top.

And the hike pushed me to another Nike+ milestone.

After cleaning up, I met Kelly for brunch (no pictures) and putzed around until my flight that evening. I always enjoy flying in or out of LA in the dark.
