Irving and I went on the Perfect Date last night. Sadly there was not one picture taken…. but it was too good not to blog about!
We took the Metro downtown after work. I like taking the subway. It reminds me of Boston. I love to people watch and see the scramble of everyday life. Once you get downtown, it really feels like a world away. So different from life in the valley.
We ate at Mendocino Farms and it was really good. It was so fresh and different. My sandwich tasted different than anything I’ve ever had, and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. But it was delicious.
Then we walked through the LA Public Library. If you live in LA, you must go. It is such a museum of art and history. We were sad to hear that because of the budget cuts they are cutting back their hours starting next week. Such a shame. There are many beautiful things to look at, but my favorite is the Children’s room. I love the musty wood ceilings and the old train station style lanterns. And of course hearing the giggles of the kids exploring books is exciting.
There is a huge mural on the wall in one of the atriums, and if you look closely, you can see the same images sewn into the rug of the children’s room. Irving commented that it is a testament to a child’s curiosity and wonder.
After the library, we walked to LA Live. There was a clippers game at the Staples Center, so there were people everywhere, it was fun! We had some ice cream from the New Zealand Ice Cream shop. I think this is their only American location. It was goooood!
After walking around for a bit more, we headed back home. It was the perfect date night. 🙂
