it is well-known for their breakfast, but dinner was equally as delicious. the portions were huge (MASSIVE!!!) and the food was great. we could have all easily split two entrees instead of four - lesson learned. afterward, we went to see no strings attached, which was hilarious. such a fun night with friends, and a nice note to end my first 365 project on. :)</p>http://kikigoesblogging.tumblr.com/post/3275842749http://kikigoesblogging.tumblr.com/post/3275842749Sun, 13 Feb 2011 10:35:50 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgjlc0x3i41qb3cj5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>day 364. 01.03.2011. after work today, i went over to la jolla cove to snap a few photos before my boot camp workout class. the lighting was beautiful and there were tons of people around, mostly tourists. i practically blended right in with my camera and began snapping away. i got a lot of great shots today (woohoo!), but i really liked this one. these women stood here for a few minutes, chatting about their days and it instanatly reminded me of something my sister and i. cannot wait to plan my next trip up to visit her!</p>http://kikigoesblogging.tumblr.com/post/3275701134http://kikigoesblogging.tumblr.com/post/3275701134Sun, 13 Feb 2011 10:28:12 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lg12llv5cY1qb3cj5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>just for fun: group shot from my company’s event a few weekends ago. pres and i with some of my coworkers and their plus ones/significant others or “sigos” as my amazing co-worker, laura, likes to call them. :)</p>http://kikigoesblogging.tumblr.com/post/3083037588http://kikigoesblogging.tumblr.com/post/3083037588Wed, 02 Feb 2011 22:12:55 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lg12faT2xC1qb3cj5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>just for fun: here’s a shot of pres and i at my company’s product launch event a few weekends ago. </p>http://kikigoesblogging.tumblr.com/post/3082991799http://kikigoesblogging.tumblr.com/post/3082991799Wed, 02 Feb 2011 22:09:09 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lg129trXuI1qb3cj5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>day 363. 01.02.2011. i was on my way to my boot camp class after work, when i spotted this adorable pup hanging out the rear window of a neighboring car. we were all stopped at a very, very long light, so i quickly pulled out my camera and got a shot of him/her through one of my side mirrors. so precious!</p>http://kikigoesblogging.tumblr.com/post/3082951169http://kikigoesblogging.tumblr.com/post/3082951169Wed, 02 Feb 2011 22:05:52 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lg1230V49v1qb3cj5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>day 362. 02.01.2011. tuesday went much more swimmingly than monday. month-end at work was pretty hectic, but we had a great january - nice way to kick off 2011!
