New adventures for this mommy

My job recently moved me from the "valley" to DTLA. Now, everyone knows that everywhere in LA takes 20 minutes, and that's really how far my commute would be if I didn't have all that traffic.

So here I am, exploring this beautiful city on my lunch break. 

I love the Downtown skyline. I love how beautiful this side of town is coming. 

Echo Park has now turned into the new Hipster hangout. There's vintage ships and cute little cafes.  I love getting lost long enough to find something amazing at a local used bookstore or simply seeing how other people live.

Chinatown is only steps away from here and it's really a whole new world down here.

 Get lost with me...

The drive home is nice too. Granted that I catch about 45 minutes of traffic, but it's okay when my view is this amazing!!

It's not that bad down here it could be worse. Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans :) so take a look around take a walk, explore, get dirty, take a different route home today's you might just find new.
