Walking on Sunshine

I'm trying very hard to be optimistic and upbeat even though summer vacation is coming to an end. This summer has really flown by but I can't complain because it's been a great summer filled with a wonderful balance of rest, relaxation, and fun! Also, as they say, all good things must come to an end. (I suppose this sunny yellow pom pom top helps to match the disposition I am trying to have about the end of summer!) Well, one of the ways that I'm dealing with the end of summer is to check some of the things off my list of things to do and see in Los Angeles, as it's basically endless!

Over the last couple weeks, some of the things that I checked off of my to do list involved food, as it was Dine L.A. week in Los Angeles. Dine L.A. is an event in which local restaurants offer prix fixe menus for lunch and dinner at reduced prices, which allows one to discover new places to dine or to visit old favorites at a bargain price! I've been wanting to try HiHo Cheeseburger, a relatively new burger joint in Santa Monica, for quite some time now, as well as take a look at some of the newer walls in Santa Monica.

Santa Monica has some amazing walls! In fact, the city's website even has a guide to where all of the walls and murals are located, which makes tracking them down very easy. This brick mural has been on my list for a while. It used to be primarily just orange and blue in its color scheme but it apparently received a face lift recently. It was definitely an explosion of color and made me feel like I was walking on sunshine in the beautiful city of Santa Monica! So, with the good burgers, colorful walls, and fresh sea breeze, my visit to Santa Monica was a great experience to help take my mind off of the fact that summer is rapidly coming to an end!
