Wait… what weekend?
=) Better start getting used to this! Saturday was a 12-hour day in heels! OUCH! We spent the whole day in Chinatown.
First we had to get ready for the Los Angeles Chinatown Golden Dragon Parade, actually the 112th Annual Golden Dragon Parade! my toes tingle just thinking about being a part of such a long standing tradition…
Is that REALLY me? Funny thing is, in ALL the pictures I've seen so far, I can't see my eyes. HAHA, note to self, keep eyes open when smiling in the future!
Late Saturday night, Jan. 29th, is probably one of those nights that I will remember for the rest of my life, barring amnesia or Alzheimer’s… Despite getting home past 3am Saturday night/Sunday morning, I managed to pop awake at 7:30am the next morning and for the next two hours, bounce around my apartment double checking that the Crown was not just a dream. Miss LA Chinatown!? I felt more like a 7 year-old on Christmas morning!! No, make that, a 7 year-old living in Florida waking up to a WHITE Christmas morning!!
