Weekend Getaway: LA

We headed up to LA this weekend for some time away. It was nice to trade one busy city for another. We left Saturday morning made a pit-stop Chick-fil-a, of course, and made arrangements to meet someone and pick up Dodgers/Cardinals tickets. After grabbing our tickets, checking into our hotel and doing an outfit change we were off. We picked up a stragler otherwise known as Yohan, and headed to the field, but first we made a stop for shaved ice. This stuff was good, light airy and overall delicious.



We made it to the game to see Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcon yell those famous baseball words "Play Ball".  I was a little starstruck, but I'm guessing the LA fans see celebrities all the time. I'm not going to lie, the game was disappointing. It wasn't only the score, but the errors made by the Cardinals. After the first inning which lasted at least an hour, the game seemed to drag on. We left during the 7th inning stretch.





Since the evening was still young, we headed over to Little Tokyo to dinner and sightseeing. We ate a yummy curry dish, which I can't remember the name of. We were stuffed but decided to get dessert anyway. Karaoke was happening in the square and Charlotte was getting jiggly with it. We were clearly the minority in Little Tokyo and a group of girls starting snapping pictures of Charlotte dancing. We stopped for macarons and they were delicious even if we ate them the next day.







The next morning we slept in or slept in as much as you can with a toddler. We met up with Yohan again and headed over to the Getty. This place was huge and provided an incredible view of LA.
