The End of the Fun in LA

Here is the final installment of our adventures in Los Angeles...


Saturday morning, the boys and their moms loaded up into the car and headed to the Griffith Observatory so that we could see a view of all of Los Angeles.  Unfortunately, when we got there, it was very foggy so our view was a little covered up.

We then went inside the beautiful observatory building and schooled the boys on the planets and such.

After exploring the inside of the observatory, we went outside and let the boys stretch their legs some before we strapped them back into their car seats.

Next, we headed to Beverly Hills.  We were in search of Sprinkles, the cupcake shop.  We were so excited to find it and get some yummy goodness.

Jack is not enjoying a cupcake...he's eating a crunchy...begrudgingly

All I can say about that experience is....OH. MY. GOD!  Those cupcakes were beyond amazing!

That night, the boys had another bath.  It's funny to see how different the two boys are; Jack is "Mr. Safety" and Miles is "Mr. Adventure".  Jack sits down and splashes and plays with toys, whereas Miles stands up and plays with the shampoo bottles. 

Miles looks like he's saying, "Who?  Me?"

Our last day in California was nice and low key.  We went to the farmer's market in the morning and bought some yummy fruit, vegetable and meat.  Then we headed out to The Grove for a little bit more shopping and people watching.  Marisa and I cooked dinner and then we took a few more pictures before Jack and I headed to the airport for our journey home.

After a long weekend of activity, we no longer knew which kid was ours or how to hold them

The boys of the weekend: Jack, Mark and Miles

Jack fell asleep before we left for the airport and then slept the whole way to the airport and through security.  He woke up when we got to our gate so I wrapped him up in my Moby wrap and he went back to sleep and slept the entire way to Raleigh.  I was awake for nearly the whole redeye flight but I was happy that Jack slept.

Thank you Marisa, Mark and Miles for an amazing time in California.  You were truly the hostess with the mostest and we can't wait for our next adventure with you.  I hear the Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina calling our name in a couple years!  Until then, we'll see you in Virginia in December.
