When Richard and I arrived in LA in 2012, we brought with us a book called
Take a Hike: LA* and enjoyed almost 15 hikes in the Santa Monica mountains during the following year. We loved getting out into the hills and mountains as an antidote to the dense city life in LA.
Since becoming parents however, we've not ventured very far up a hiking trail with Ananya. A few trips to Will Rogers state park (just off Sunset Blvd and only 15mins from home) with Ananya have taken place, but it wasn't until today that we hiked the entire trail with her; no stroller, no baby carrier, just our feet. She hiked almost the entire 2.5 mile loop with us to Inspiration Point without being carried. We saw some lizards and pretty birds. Ananya earned a well earned drink at the top along with a snack. Now we're off to buy her some proper hiking boots ...;)
Note: If Richard reminds you of someone from TV it's because he's taken to wearing my sunglasses (his are broken), which coupled with the long hair and beard, give him the air of a character from a 70s cop show. Personally I'm thinking Robert Culp from Columbo...
