We visit California to see family. This was our second stay at Jan's place. We spent our full 10 days at Jan's place this year. Typically we move on mid week to other points of interest in the great state. We opted to spend all of our time in Pasadena to enjoy more of what Los Angeles offers and to rest. Jan's place is just perfect for us. It is homey, comfortable, with great indoor and outdoor spaces. The kitchen is large and easy to put together a meal. We rested well and enjoyed the back yard every evening. I spent time on the front porch early mornings reading news with my coffee. The location is super good. We popped over to Highland Park our first afternoon to The Hemosillo . York Ave is so fun, do check it out. There are shops and dining plus our new obsession, Doughnut Friend. Not far from the house is Lincoln restaurant. It is a delightful gourmet restaurant / bakery. We covered a lot of ground, explored the city and came "home" to Jan's lovey house for R&R. We rested up sleeping in most mornings, took a few mid day naps. The house is cool and quiet. We love Jan's house for our hard earned time off.
