A Perfect MLK Day

On glorious MLK morning, I went to the Santa Monica Pier with my friend Jon, who just came back from wintry Georgia. It was a wonderful way to spend one last day of fun before classes start this week. I am so glad the weather cooperated--the day was simply perfect.

Clockwise from left top: the view of the pier from the end;
the lamps that line the piers; me standing under the pier.

Then we went to pick up my sister for a fun lunch together at Al Gelato. One of us had to order the meatball sandwich that Tony (my BIL) have been raving about for years. We also ordered a cabernet gelato which was delicious!

Then we went to The MILK Shop which I've seen in some of my friends photos and thought this must be a happening place. But after visiting, I thought it was just alright.  I only tasted the red velvet popper (which was pretty good). I would be willing to try this place again, if it wasn't for the fact that everything seemed overpriced to me.

  1. Did you really take the picture of the store Milk in the middle of the street?
