#SundayFunday 3/17/13

I live for Sundays.  Sundays are for family.

We had to take a quick trip to LA to visit LACMA again (twice in one month is a record - I'm not complaining!) because my husband is doing a study on a painting.  He finally settled on a Picasso (after debating between Cezanne and Kandinsky) but before we headed out we had to stop by the Warhols.  Big Warhol, little Warhol.

Found parking right in front of the Odd Future store so Dame could get an early Birthday gift but it was closed!  Decided to call it a day and head back to OC.  Going down Melrose Avenue we saw this hilarious piece by Hanksy.  Sup Weezy!

Further down Melrose, I spotted a Sand Oner piece that was covered in ugly graffiti.

Got a quick bite to eat at In N Out.

We headed to The Camp next because C wanted to check out a store there.  The boys and I got bored waiting for him so we went to get dessert at Blackmarket Bakery.  Dame picked out an Open Wide Ice Cream Sandwich with a warm Snickerdoodle cookie, vanilla ice cream, homemade marshmallows and caramel syrup.  They gave us St. Patrick's Day cookies and everything was so yummy!  I also think I found the perfect smash cake for Omie's Birthday party there!  

We did a lot of things on this rare Sunday but what really stood out:
Excellent customer service at Zumiez at MainPlace Mall in Santa Ana.

This Is Our LA #LoveThisCity

There are a million ways to do Los Angeles and having lived in Southern California for over 26 years, I hate to admit that there are still things I haven't seen, done or ate yet!  That is the beauty of this city, everyone has a different, priceless version!  There is always an adventure, I love this city!

Family and friends from out of state have visited California over the years and we always play tour guide.  We love playing tour guide, I think we're awesome at it.  One of our ways to do LA and my favorite is our traditional Sunday Funday - we start off at the Hollywood Farmers Market, order lunch from one of the many vendors, grab a spot on a community table and just enjoy the beauty in the food and people.  Checking out music, sampling fruits and getting fresh squeezed orange juice are other farmers market musts.  Sometimes we peek in at the shops at Space 15 Twenty which is right next to the market.  There's an Urban Outfitters and one Sunday Funday we saw Mr. Brainwash looking at a pair of Adidas.  Random, right?  Next door is Hennessey + Ingalls - an incredible bookstore with amazing titles.  Across the street is Amoeba Music, one of the last standing music stores!  One afternoon we lucked out and watched Peanut Butter Wolf spin a live set.  The area is also known for Nike Montalbán, Iguana Vintage, The Pantages Theatre, W Hollywood, Katsuya.

After eating, we venture out to see art and shop!  My favorite museum is LACMA.  We recently checked out the Stanley Kubrick exhibit.  One of my favorite directors, he definitely understands the art of making a movie.  Our favorite galleries are Gallery 1988 and La Luz de Jesus at WACKO.  I never turn down visiting WACKO - it is a fantastic shop.  Next door is Ozzie Dots, a cool costume shop.  There is no shortage of places to eat/see/do.  The possibilities are endless - culture, adventure and discovery await you!

Will you wanderlust LA with me?  I guarantee you a priceless experience.

LA is diverse - Chicken Kabob plate from the Greek vendor!

LA is art and film.  The Shining at Stanley Kubrick exhibit at LACMA.

LA is innovative.  Only a rock can bring so much fascination to a city!

LA is random! Ran into tattoo artist Kat Von D outside one of my favorite stores!

LA is fun, silly and full of personality.  LA is not shy!

LA is unique - forget red velvet cake, we do it blue velvet style!

LA is the city of dreams.
