Hotel Hoangbeski

Over the past few weeks, we've hosted quite a few people at our humble abode. Must be something appealing about a downtown loft. It was a great chance for us to explore our city, so much to see!

Did you know there's an ultimate Frisbee league, and that the Los Angeles team plays at Occidental College in Glendale? Los Angeles Aviators vs San Jose Spiders. LA won at the very last second in overtime, family drove home a little dejected.

Of course, the real reason Yvonne's brother drove to see us is Shake Shack. He bought a dozen to drive home and freeze for a later date.

My cousin from Colorado brought her kids through a series of SoCal college tours. Maybe a couple of future Bruins here... I had to take them to The Last Bookstore. And Guisados.

Our favorite Matt stopped by for the week for a conference. We went to 4 escape rooms in 4 consecutive days, bouldered, saw Raiders of the Lost Ark with the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, and ate lots of food.

Three weekends in a row hosting people, what an honor so many people we love want to spend time with us!
