:: shopping in LA ::

other than some mandatory foodie shots, we don't have that many pictures in LA mostly because we were holed up in malls knee deep in shopping! we missed out on a few key sightseeing spots like mann chinese theatre, griffin observatory and getty villa but we told ourselves we'd be back.


 we popped in to see rodeo drive and picked up famous sprinkles cupcakes for pals back home 
and also inhaled a large pinkberry froyo.


of the many malls we went to, i particularly loved the grove. which has the funnest vibe!! 
it felt like disneyland for adults. daniel popped into the theatres to watch a movie while i shopped to my hearts content. i remember taking a break next to the lawn, enjoying the afternoon sun and sneaking in a snack of hotdog thinking "man! i could do this every single day of our lives..." 


so coming home was bittersweet. 

but this adventure had to end for our next to start, right? 
and wherever that is, i can't wait!

p.s. we missed out on our nyc marathon application this year. 
so perhaps that's something fun to look forward in 2013! :)
