The Grove

  Yesterday Justin and I took our last trip to LA to see Sarah before we move.  We had yet to experience food trucks so that was definitely the first thing I wanted to do.  Sarah took us to Danny's Tacos (where they may or may not speak English depending on the day) for the most amazing quesadillas.  After that we walked around LA Live and got to see where the red carpet events take place.  Turns out it is just an ordinary street that gets deck out for big events.  Who knew? 

  Sarah is one of the few people in this world that shares a love for the little things that make me SO happy.  She knows me so well and knew I would love The Grove this time of year.  I am not a good enough writer to describe how cute this place is to you but I will try.  Picture a Christmas tree that reaches the clouds, Christmas music played by a live quartet, a train going by carrying families, the most perfectly decorated store fronts, and sipping hot chocolate.  This place has a farmers market AND a Pottery Barns Kids!  Like I said before Sarah is one of the few that shares these things that make me so happy. 

  We ended the day by driving by the Paramount Studios gates and finally eating at Bottega Louie.  Such an adorable, delicious restaurant, and we had a celebrity spotting.  Billy Crystal walked by us and Justin and Sarah made the connection right away.  I on the other hand was "McKayla Maroney not impressed".  They had to go through and list for me some things I would remember him being in, then I thought it was pretty cool and fitting that we saw a celebrity on our last night in LA.  We will miss having Sarah so close :(  And we appreciate her showing us tourists around while we were here, <3


I leave for Michigan on Wednesday in hopes for a white Christmas :)  Looking forward to spending time with my family and especially my mom.

Keep you posted,
