I was so thankful to be in town for Beth’s birthday so we spent a day driving all over Los Angeles to celebrate. PLUS Mindy flew in and surprised her! (Click on photos to enlarge.)
Starting with Starbucks…OBVIOUSLY.
And vanilla bean scones
The Americana
Chandelier in the street
What?
SURPRISE!
Mindy snuck up on us!
All together now…notice Mindy’s fingers.
Cheek rubbing
Meg can’t keep a straight face
All laughing…this is what most of the day looked like!
Then Sprinkles, of course.
Beth has been talking about this for a while.
Cuz she wanted to get a cupcake from the ATM
All the flavors!
There’s a video that will be posted later…we apparently broke it!
YUM!
Birthday month in common
Birthday Girl
The party planners
Our ever faithful driver
And more chandeliers
HEY!
Hello, Lover.
On to the next thing!
The HEART Wall!
Then to the Wacko Soap Plant
With awesome murals
And the LARGE crazy gift shop inside
I have to post all of these because their faces are so funny!
Backseat drivers
Time for lunch!
Famous Canters!
SO GOOD!
ALL OF IT!
SERIOUSLY!
SO GOOD!
Watch the guy in the blue shirt
Keep watching
Photo bomber!
Sure. Okay.
We were supposed to go to this mural but it was painted over!
And this one too…painted over completely!
Pygmy Hippo…the smallest gift shop ever.
Seriously, It was the size of a closet.
Of course.
This mural wasn’t planned but one extra surprise!
A sweaty walk through and LA neighborhood
But we got to see pretty flowers
The SodaPop Shop!
Aisles and aisles of soda
And the Birthday Girl made her own soda
Cabonation
Flavoring
Capping
Ready to go!
Then Birthday dinner with Mr. Beth.
Pretty Awesome Couple right here
Okay, we will.
Silly goose
Mindy’s Orea Shake
Ginger’s Captain Crunch Shake
Beth’s Oreo Shake
One GREAT day for one GREAT chick!
