Maui Day 1 - First stop, Costco

Last week we went on a much needed vacation...

We hadn't been to the airport since our Portland trip last year and I don't remember the new sitting areas complete with outlets in the tables (nice!);

This year, we would be off to Maui for about a week...

Paradise Hills Night Market 2017 recap

Talk about procrastination...

(not us, but some other folks we were following as we headed to Penn Athletic Field)
This is a post for last year's Paradise Hills Night Market...

which debuted last year and will be returning....

Caffeine galore at G & B Coffee, Grand Central Market + Angel's Flight

Located at the lower floors of the Homer McLaughlin building...

also known as Los Angeles' first steel-reinforced and fireproof building is the nearly one century old grand Central Market, our first destination of the day...

Summer Road Trip 2015 - Day 8: Return to Noriega Produce Market and Devil's Teeth Bakery

Our anniversary road trip was not over yet.

Although this was our last day in SF before driving down to to Paso Robles,

we made quite a few stops in the neighborhood before our eventual departure...

Wildberries Marketplace + taxidermy @ the McKinleyville Barbershop

We needed to buy a few items for our lunch for today. As always, we had a lot of driving ("we" as in Bert).

(yes, fireworks are legal here!)

TC was happy because she got to ride in the front seat.  Near Northtown Coffee was this health food/grocery store, Wildberries Marketplace...

Dessert @ Pappalecco, Kensington

Earlier this evening, Bert and I did the unthinkable...

We went out on a weeknight!  {{{Gasp}}} Shocker, I know, but hey, we wanted to live it up so...

Return to LAX-C & Mae Ting's Coconut Cakes

Buzzed with caffeine (and sugar) from San Marco Coffee Roasting House in Burbank...

we made our way to the outskirts of LA's Chinatown...

DTLA's Grand Central Market - G & B Coffee + Ana Maria's Mexican Food

Our visit to Angels Flight and Angels Knoll earlier this morning was strategic...

Just south of the base of Angels Flight was LA's historic Grand Central Market...

We'd never been and itt was nice to go so early in the morning when it wasn't crazy crowded yet...

Our first stop was for some much needed caffeine...

Dinner from the Cayucos Super Market

Across the street from the surf shop, at the northern end of Ocean Ave is the Cass House (nicely obscured by a big trailer). It was the home of Capt. James Cass, the founder of the town of Cayucos.

It is now a fancy restaurant...We noticed that the Brown Butter Cookie Company which used to be next to it had moved...In fact it was up the street in a big red building...

We would end up going there before leaving town a few days later...In the hillside are homes with what has to be million dollar views of the Pacific Ocean....

Even though we had been out and about ALL DAY, we still had energy to check things out...
