We went to The Arzate’s Annual Halloween Party last night and had a BLAST. The kiddos and adults all dressed up … and we did a terrible job of taking pictures! Everybody will be coming here on Wednesday to trick-or-treat on our street, so hopefully we’ll get more pics on Halloween! Here’s what we did get:
Ruby as Olivia (she’s obsessed with the books!)
Carrie as Rosie the Riveter
And Ed rocking “Gangnam Style” as PSY
An homage to the sweet (and sometimes sad) soft sounds of the 70s. And wagons. We love wagons. Available on Spotify now!
We spent the better part of the day on October 7th up in L.A. doing some of our favorite things to celebrate SIX years as Mr. + Mrs.
//Our Itinerary//
Hammer Museum: Graphic Design: Now In Production
Architecture+Design Museum: Eero Saarinen
Canter’s Deli (matzo ball soup + bagel chips are a MUST!)
LACMA: Stark Bar
Sundance Cinemas, West Hollywood: Detropia
Perfect day. e+c=<3
We often consider our membership to LACMA similar to an Annual Passport at Disneyland. We go so often, it’s paid for in a few visits, and it’s nice to know that we can pop up to L.A. to take a quick peek at a new exhibition and leave for lunch, or spend the majority of the day walking around, spending time outside and visiting our “friends” up on the walls.
One of our faves is Ed Ruscha, and there is a new exhibition on view now called Standard. It was “Carmegeddon” weekend in L.A. and we arrived quicker than ever, and the museum was practically empty! No pics were allowed inside, but I snapped these two before the guard yelled at me. (Oops.)
It’s getting harder and harder to snap pics of this kiddo — she is always on the move!
After seeing Ed, we headed downstairs to the awesome Metropolis II, which is a favorite of all three of us. (We posted a few pics and video of another visit here.)I love the sheer design of it, Ed loves anything having to do with miniatures, and Miss Ruby is fascinated by all the commotion and moving cars!
A few more shots from our visit, including “The Rock” in the Levitated Mass exhibition.
The grand finale for the day was heading up to West Hollywood to try out Coney Dog L.A.! Ever since my cousins exposed us to the famous Detroit style hot dogs, we’ve been slightly obsessed. (Read all about our Coney face-off in Detroit here!) While Coney L.A. didn’t hold a candle to Lafayette in Detroit, it was a great homage to a Coney Island Hot Dog Shop and they really did keep things authentic. They had the Michigan vs. Ohio State game on … and they even had Faygo Red Pop!
Art + Hot Dogs = a great family day in L.A.!
We headed up to Oak Glen in Yucaipa on Sunday to do a little apple picking. There are many farms to choose from along the scenic loop to pick your own apples. We stopped at Riley’s and picked some of our own.
After picking apples at Riley’s, we headed over to Oak Tree Village to have some lunch. They had a petting zoo and pony rides, too … but we decided to splurge on a piece of apple pie a la mode instead! It was enormous – it took all three of us to finish it!
We loved all the Braeburns, McIntosh, Rome + Red Delicious apples we picked!
We’ll be back, Oak Glen.
