Day in LA

It's been a while since B and I have spent a day in LA. It all started because I wanted to get some lanterns for Peanut's room. I needed something with color and something cheap... and China town is where to go.




When we go to LA there are certain things that B always wants to do.



Eat. Chinese food is always at the top of his list but there are also a ton of fantastic places to go.



I really hope Peanut gets his metabolism. We should all be so lucky. He ate this entire dish by himself.



Everytime I walk around China town I feel the urge to buy lucky bamboo. It's everywhere and in all different forms.



Love these little paper umbrellas.. perfect for pictures, displays or shade from the sun.



While I look at the tiny baby shoes and pretty paper lanterns B always seems to find the swords/daggers/knives.



He was actually doing this before I took the picture.



This has to be my favorite part of this shop... a little lunch area behind a screen. they had rice and some kind of chicken & gailon dish and it smelled amazing.

They would take breaks in between customers and make the most delicious looking bowls to eat in a nook by the plants.



We stopped in the jewelry district as well but they do not allow pictures in the jewelry district. Security thinks you're casing the place.

Then we always head to Amoeba because B cannot live without his music. We don't go very often so he always has a list of music he needs to find when we get there.



The only thing our day was missing was our usual trip to Scoops. Oh how I missed that trip to Scoops.

Maybe next time...
