We made it to LA! Our flights went perfectly. All the kids were great travelers. Yesterday was a really long day, but we had fun and had a great appointment with Dr.
Reinisch yesterday afternoon. We left home at 4:30 am (1:30 am CA time) and drove to an hour to the airport. We flew to Phoenix, walked to our next gate and then flew into LA. We got our rental car and then drove into Beverly Hills where Silas' appointment was. We had several hours to spare, so we lived it up!
We had lunch at
LA Food Show. I researched some fun places to eat online and am thankful I took time to do this. It's fun to try new places and not just stop at
McDonald's for lunch! The restaurant was kid friendly and had a really neat atmosphere. Silas and Caroline had burgers and fries, Madelyn had
gourmet mac & cheese and the adults all had yummy salads.
After lunch, we did a little shopping on our favorite little street, Rodeo Drive.
It was fun to see all the brand name stores. I actually did not see that many people who were really "shopping". More just people like us taking pictures and walking around.
A view down Rodeo. The weather is PERFECT here! 70's and sunny with no humidity!
Our rental car for the week. It's a little tight for the 6 of us, but we look so awesome driving around! HA! Really we have a white Town and Country Mini-van. : ) Couldn't resist taking a picture of this car on Rodeo Dr. though.
After all of our shopping, we walked to
Sprinkles Cupcakes. Yummy! It was packed and is supposedly "the place" to go for cupcakes.
Alyssa at Sprinkles. We got lots of different flavors - vanilla, black and white, banana and red velvet.
CJ even got to have one!! They had a vegan red velvet cupcake = no milk!

Cara,
So happy that you are able to have a little fun while you're out there and that your girls get to have a little summer vacation! I'm praying all goes well for Silas!
I'm glad you all made it there without incident. Way to go on doing your food research - a girl after my own heart! Sprinkles is definitely on the "it" list right now!
I am so glad the plane ride went well! We are praying for his surgery. Love the pictures! It looks beautiful.
So great to see you are having FUN too! Love you all!
