Weekend in LA

Saturday Night: We hit up the Griffith Park Observatory for an awesome journey through space.



We looked through a giant telescope pointed at Saturn and were able to see the rings. The layout up on the hill also provided great night views of the city.

Then it was onto some food from Masa in Echo Park. (I had the most delicious Caprese Panini with prosciutto. Mmmm Mmmm...)

The night ended with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and a viewing of Alien.

Sunday:

Ray and I hit up IHOP for The Mayor's breakfast. You know, from Horton Hears a Who. It includes: Green Eggs (scrambled eggs with spinach), ham and a fun tower of pancakes with bosenberry syrup bright purple and blue in color and rainbow colored chocolate chips.

After that, it was onto Century City (a great outdoor mall) for some browsing of the Container Store and then to see Horton Hears a Who. It was cute, but not quite a classic. There was one hilarious random character who cracked Ray and I up...but he wasn't on very much.

No celebrity sightings to report.

Next weekend: LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art)

Bravo! You've inspired me to write about my own weekend...but it won't happen until tonight at the earliest, and only then if I'm not too brain dead. I'm challenging myself to stop "homing from work," and thus will not be leaving Gmail open all day...or reading blogs...or shopping...

I've often thought that if I could have any snack whilst watching Alien, it would be freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies.

Please tell me you said hello to the Container Store for me. I love that place with all my heart.

Let's see a Napoleon update:-) Maybe eating his adult food? Callie and Lucy will make the switch this summer. They are growing up so fast!

Where's your favorite place to get avacado in Cali? Submariono?!
