We were out today AGAIN! Love going to outdoor fun places on weekends with the family!
Today we went to Redondo Beach Pier for like...15min or so.
It was windy and chilly, we decided to go to some place else...only to find out it became hotter and hotter!
It was so pretty, we loved it!
We go to Descanso Gardens, L.A Arboretum, and Huntington Library a lot since we have memberships and live close to these places. But it was refreshing to go to a brand new botanical garden to stroll around!
I saw this flower first off...is this an artichoke flower???
Doesn't it look like it though?
I have no idea what any flowers are, so I just like to wonder off...in other words...I don't really care what the names are, I just love looking at them!
There were these little fountains everywhere in the garden. So cute.
My son loves finding "jungles" everywhere we go. When we were walking through the "jungle", reminded me of my high school in Interlochen, MI.
Although we live in a big busy city, I miss a lot of green and peacefulness...which I was used to having them all the time throughout my high school and College years.
I never thought I would enjoy these 'nature' activities in the million years until I became a mother and never thought I was an 'outdoor' kind of person before either.
But I have to admit, it's pretty cool to see my own child being so excited about different shapes of leaves, different colors of flowers, and different sizes of trees... my children's smiles are priceless!
So much fun!
After we finished walking around in the garden for a couple of hours in the hot hot sun, we decided to grab a late lunch in Torrance/Gardena area on the way back home.
The choice of place was HERE
King's Hawaiian Bakery restaurant.
It's like Zippy's in Hawaii. Oh how my husband and I miss Zippy's alot...mmm Zippy's Chili and Rice.. nothing can't beat that.
Anyways, my son is rice and noodle lover, we ordered a plate lunch and a bowl of Saimin. Not as good as Zippy's but, hey, this is how close you can get here in Southern California, I guess :) Who am I speaking, I'm not even Hawaiian!
Because we ate lunch pretty late, I didn't cook for dinner tonight ;p
We still had some leftovers from last night's dinner.
So today was another slacking day...but oh well. I need some rest too right? ha ha
So, looks like my husband and my son are bringing a regular boring (?) turkey sandwich for their lunch :)
