Tis the season for weekend getaways! Summertime is one of my favorite times of the year (second only to Christmas time) and now that I'm settled into a new city, one of my favorite things to do is take weekend trips. Of course I wish I could leave for a little bit longer than just a day and a half, but I've actually really come to enjoy quick trips as a way to explore a new place I've never been. A few weekends ago, The Cove Hotel in Long Beach invited Akash and I to stop by the hotel for a visit, and the timing couldn't have been better.
