Our first “winter” in LA has been pretty great.

After living in LA for a couple months, thoughts on the differences between the West Coast and East Coast?
The most notable differences are the weather and the general attitude. It was 84°F yesterday, on January 4. We went rollerblading on the beach the day before Halloween. After coming back from visiting family in New Jersey over the holidays, where it was in the 20s, we went hiking on January 1 in Topanga State Park in t-shirts. I grew up in Seattle, where it was drizzle and gray every day for the first 16 years of my life, and then spent more than a decade on the east coast where it was snowing and windy and freezing for half of the year and humid as all hell for the other half, so Los Angeles has been a godsend.
Attitude-wise, this place is the polar opposite of New York. People are almost too nice. They say hello to you on the street, they know how to stand in lines without cutting you off, no one is trying to screw you out of something at any moment, it’s pretty clean and everyone seems fairly genuine. It was hard to get used to at first.
The Getty Center in LA is amazing. So amazing, in fact, we didn’t really even go inside because the view and the architecture is so much fun to look at and take photos of.
October in LA
While our friends on the east coast dealt with a snow storm we spent one of the last days of October at the beach. Living in LA has completely ruined us for seasons.
