Japanese Gardens

Yesterday Kristin and I went to the Hannah Carter Japanese Gardens. They are tucked away in a neighborhood in Bel Air. There parking lot only has two parking spaces so you have to make reservations pretty far in advance. They were so beautiful.
I sent Al this picture and he replied with I'm glad I'm not at that frou frou place.

Far from frou frou....it was so peaceful.

This part of the gardens reminded me of Hawaii which were so tropical and green.

I was really into them...hahah
It was such a nice day we had sno cones by UCLA and yes they had ice cream in the middle.
On our way back to "the valley" we stopped at a consignment store in Bel-Air. The entire upstairs is clothing donated from Paris Hilton's Closet.
They had tons of purses, shoes (which were totally hers because they were size 11).
I breezed through the clothing becuase I wasn't about fit into anything that Paris Hiton wore. Although I did find this super cute Juicy outfit, but it's hard to say if it will fit after baby Alex is born. Skinny Kristin ended up buying 2 cute pairs of her jeans.
Our last stop of the day was a farmers market by Kristins house.
I sampled a least 5 strawberries and every other kind of fruit available.
If I wasn't going to be in the hospital all weekend I would have bought a ton of fresh vegetables.
and fruit....next time I'm packing up Baby Alex in the Bjorn!!
