Hello world! What a crazy week so far! We’ve been going non-stop. Friday we went to Burbank’s Holiday Open House where stores and restaurants open their doors and offer free drinks, snacks and goodies. We met up with Erika and Timmy and explored some stores we hadn’t heard of before. Such a fun way to kick off the weekend.
Saturday morning, we met up with Erica for breakfast and a walk. Here’s a preview of the Banana Peanut Butter Crunch pancakes we all split for “dessert”. (Yep, those are Oreos on there). 
After a walk around a new neighborhood, we cleaned up and headed an hour north to a beautiful wedding in Camarillo. 
The setting was just gorgeous, it was at an old farmhouse. We had a blast and enjoyed the evening chatting with friends. 
But the cake! Oh, the cake! Each table had its own cake and it was love at first sight. It was everything you could want in a wedding cake. Rich, sugary buttercream frosting, chocolate cake, strawberries inside. All wrapped in a shell of white chocolate. I went back for an extra smear of frosting. 
On our way home, the 101 freeway got completely shut down just a few cars in front of us. We turned the car off and it took almost an hour for them to open up one lane again. Ridiculous.
Sunday morning, we got up and headed to the LA Auto Show downtown. We are thinking of replacing one or both of our cars in the next year or so it was a great opportunity to scope out some contenders. We were actually impressed by what we found. We have lots of research to do now. 
Sunday was POURING in LA. The rain came down in thick wet sheets. The kind of rain that has big droplets that soak you to the bone. On the way back to our car, we both stepped in a huge puddle and our socks and shoes were soaked. But we had to keep truckin’ because next up was the Major League Soccer Championship game! We got tickets months ago before we even knew which teams would be playing. Luckily our LA Galaxy made it in and we were excited to be in the stadium. Our seats were not covered and we spent four hours outside looking like this: 
We made the best of it though and enjoyed the game. We were in the third row in the corner and had great views of Donovan stretching before the game. 
And then the game began! LA vs. Houston. 
Oh hey, David! Bend it like Beckham! 
In the end, we won 1-0 and the field erupted in celebration. 
And remember that trophy that we saw last weekend in the mall? 
There it is! Now officially in the hands of the LA Galaxy. 
Did you watch the game on ESPN? This game was like the superbowl of soccer. So cool to be able to see it in person. 
After, we did what any normal person would do after sitting in the rain for four hours…. we went to Chili’s for dinner. haha
I’m exhausted after typing all that. Looking forward to Thanksgiving! Safe travels during the holiday, everyone!
