West Coast yum

Vacationing always entails quite a long list of places to eat. So of course we ate at every place possible while there in California, most especially the places we don't have on the east coast. Here's the list...

In and Out
Jollibee
Carl's Jr.
Jack in the Box
Chow King
Goldilocks
Red Ribbon
Salo Salo Grill
Jamba Juice
The Coffee bean and Tea leaf Co.
Rokko
Kabuki
Ohana


I currently don't have the pictures I wanted to post with this blog but you get the general idea. California has some great food, and I love me some great food. I must say I had the best chai latte from Coffee bean and it totally caught me by surprise. I thought it'd be just another coffee place but their drinks, at least the ones I stole sips from.. were great. And their prices weren't half bad. I was quite sad when I found out that their aren't any on the east coast... at least not in Virginia or the metropolitan area. I could be wrong though, so if you know of one around the DC area please let a girl. As for my favorite meals... I loved the Hawaiian BBQ at Ohana and the whole Salo Salo Grill platter, it was amazing. Also Rokko's "rock'n'roll" was the best roll ever! [ shrimp tempura with eel and avocado on top].

But I'm glad to be home. California had it's share of good eats but Virginia does too. Here are some of my favorite places here at home.

You Animal

I'm already twenty but I still feel like a little kid every time I go to the zoo.

I heart DC.

Practically all of my life has been spent living the lovely state of Virginia... but don't get it wrong, as most people usually do, I'm from Northern Virginia (There's a difference from the "rest" of VA). I live right outside of DC. And though I don't technically live in the city I'd consider myself a city girl. My church is there in north west and I've got the metro lines coming from Virginia all memorized. Downtown can be quite confusing, but my usual escape route incase we get lost (which ends up happening over and over again) is finding K street to lead me back to the place I know best, Georgetown. Downtown there is so much to do and tons to see and though I've been here forever, I can never get sick of it. There are museums and memorials for days and great shopping if you know when to look. But like every big city you've got south east... or versions of it, where you'll probably never find me. The only times you'd see me there when my church does volunteer work there. Anyways here's a glimpse of DC though my eyes aka my camera.
