adventures in l.a.

this was my first full weekend living in l.a. and thankfully we had finished unpacking so we could have fun!

we explored our neighborhood, hung out with some of our dearest friends, and discovered the best gilato in america. seriously, if anyone disagrees i will fight you.

the place is bulgarini gelato and it's in an impossibly hard to find back corner of a rite aid plaza in altadena, ca... and totally worth the trek! one critic from the l.a. times said it was like the bare hint of sweaty afternoon sex in the scent of a juicy midsummer melon. i'm not sure exactly what that means, but i can tell you it was damn good! seriously, if you live anywhere near here you've got to try it {and if you go on a saturday night you'll even catch the free movie on the patio!}.

this weekend i also learned that super hot summer weather and 3 scoops of almond lemon creme gelato makes me happier than a box full of rainbows and kittens! .... welllll...
