To Live and Blog in L.A.



So after a hectic week, I flew out Friday evening to meet Jon in L.A. after his return from a week long series of business trips in Asia.

After sleeping in this morning, we picked up our rental car and headed to the Farmer's Market which we have never been too... but have heard good things about it. We enjoyed a wonderful French lunch and browsed around the market, then we did a tiny bit of shopping at The Grove shopping center... where I took the time to pose for a photo in front of the American Girl store... as a tribute to our pal Emily.

We ventured down to West Hollywood to pop into one of our favorite gay and lesbian bookstores... A Different Light... and completely by accident found ourselves in the middle of L.A.'s gay pride weekend! What fun! We saw a police car with the doors opened... and I told Jon that I had to fight the urge to jump into the car and ask the policemen if they could take us to visit Paris Hilton in the slammer!!

Later, we headed over to Century City to visit The Container Store for some of their fantastic leakproof travel bottles!

Finally, we topped the evening off with dinner at Petrelli's Steak House... a restaurant that we found in a book on L.A. that Jon had bought earlier in the day. We didn't know anything about it... other than it was close to where we were... and we were tired and hungry! Turned out... it was overpriced... and the food was very disappointing.

But... now, we are ready for a good nights sleep (Jon more so than me... due to his crazy worldwide travels) before getting up and heading to the Getty Center tomorrow!

Not that exciting of a day... but... just had to post the American Girl picture for Emily!
