Birthday trip: Los Angeles

October 30, 2015
For my birthday, Ben planned a wonderful weekend in LA. We walked around the neighborhoods of Silverlake, Echo Park and Los Feliz, saw the sights in downtown LA (and got completely soaked by a surprise rainstorm), visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and ate a lot of delicious food. We had so much fun that we're going back again.
