First we dropped off all her luggage at the house and then we took Scott to work. We drove down PCH to Sprinkles and enjoyed a cupcake together (with the coolest disposable plates ever). After our infused sugar fix we enjoyed spending time at the Sherman Gardens and Library in Corona Del Mar. We wandered along the beautiful paths and breathed in the wonderful aromas of flora and fauna. The orchids and koi pond were favorites of mine and Olivia loved it all.
Following the greenery, we headed down the 405 to take a look see at the business building where Shae works for her summer internship. We didn't go in, we just drove by and waved.
Next we went home grabbed Addison and Scott and treated Livie to her first Thai lunch. She liked it. Now, back to the house to wait for Shae to get home so we can move on to the next activity.
Olivia, Shae and I headed for LA, downtown LA. Right next to the Staple Center. Up the 110 from USC. Yea. That LA.
Addison's apartment was a must see and her friend Liz showed us around the city. We were all excited to be hit on by a homeless guy (he loved the red head . . . yep, I still got it). Don't worry. It's all a part of the LA experience. Liz took us to the textile district to shop and Livie and Shae saw an abundance of fabric. Too many to choose from really although Livie grabbed some treasures.
Addison and I discovered a simply perfect bakery in LA while visiting FIDM a few weeks back. Bottega Louie. I had to introduce it to the girls. So we followed Liz up 7th and popped into paradise. We selected our pastry and savored every bite while people watching. Another awesome thing to do in LA. We brought a treat home for the family as well. This place is truly something you do not want to miss should you ever be in LA.
We braved the freeway once more and now we are all home and tired. Very tired. And very happy.
All will sleep well at the Roderick house tonight. And we will all start all over tomorrow.
