Saturday, Aviva and I bundled up Iggy and Jett and drove to the Toy District in LA.\u00c2\u00a0 We had high hopes, and they were dashed – don’t waste your time going there, it’s just a bunch of small import shops selling cheap crap.\u00c2\u00a0 We did get to walk the dogs around, they liked that of course!<\/p>\n

We then stopped at Little Tokyo to eat at Las Galas in the Little Tokyo Mall. Don’t waste your time eating there, we waited 45 minutes for average quality food.<\/p>\n

Sunday we took the dogs for a short walk near the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains – a red bud tree was budding. It’s February. Amazing.<\/p>\n
