Back to Cali.

Back in September I had the privilege of traveling to Los Angeles with two of my good friends from work to attend a workshop on inclusive education at CHIME Institute. We spent three days together reflecting on our school's current inclusive practices and brainstorming ways to improve over the next several years. It was thought-provoking, inspiring, and exhausting!

While we were in California we rented an apartment in Venice. We were across the street from the beach and in heaven! We didn't have much time to spare during our stay, but we made the most of the few free hours after work each day. We shopped in Santa Monica (and saw an amazing sunset on the beach!), devoured burgers and fries at In-N-Out, and visited The Getty. We also had two amazing dinners in Venice; I highly recommend Gjelina and The Tasting Kitchen. I am devoted to the east coast, but I do love the sunshine, waves, and easy lifestyle of the west coast. Hopefully I will be able to visit again soon!
