Monrovia…home of Trader Joe's! And more importantly, Monique and John! It's just a little east of Pasadena and just as cute as can be. Look, here's the happy couple now:
They are getting married this summer. I'm so excited!
We hung out in the Library Park.
I quietly admired a tree, whilst silently cursing the free flow of wine at my Uncle Tim's house the night before. It's a blessing and a curse to have a fun family.
Jules served a little lunch.
They have rocks and plaques everywhere!
And bears, too.
According to John, bears are the official mascot of Monrovia. And apparently it's completely appropriate. One morning, Monique woke up, looked out the window and saw a bear in the back yard, just hanging out. Did I mention this is in the Los Angeles metropolitan area? Not Yosemite? You might not associate LA with such wildlife, but Monrovia backs into the San Gabriel mountains.
The town was very cute, with a nice downtown, lots of restaurants, and shops. We had lunch at T. Phillips Ale House. It was good times in Monrovia! Thanks Monique and John. :)
