I spent last weekend in L.A. Technically Logan-sitting, I fit a ton of fun in with some of my favorite people. Unfortunately, Mandi and my mom were in Amesbury, so I didn’t get to see them…but I had an activity-filled weekend, anyway.
I got in very late Friday night, after a horrible Super Shuttle experience which kept me driving around LAX for an hour after midnight. On Saturday, I got my nails done (I only try to fit in the very important things), and then had some relaxation time with Logan. When Noah was up from his nap, I met up with him and Mark at Polliwog park. We fed some ducks and gigantic fish, and played with Noah on the playground. We ran a lot and tired everybody out. Seeking some quiet, more conversation-allowing sit-down time, we headed to Mama D’s for dinner #1. After that, it was dinner #2 with Gabriela…unphotographed, but great as always. I had my beloved Caprese salad at Lazy Dog, and we laughed and laughed and laughed.
Sunday saw breakfast #1 with Melissa at Le Quotidian (the best coffee in the world…), with a surprise additional goodbye visit by Mark. Breakfast #2 took place at Eat at Joe’s with my dad, Martha, and Justine, and the remainder of the afternoon was spent cuddling some more with Logan.
The weekend was over quickly, but wonderful. It left me utterly exhausted but somehow refreshed, and thankful for the great people in my life (including my mom, who wasn’t there, but left me roses and all sorts of preferred foods and sweets and drinks, and a toy to give to Logs!). Another weekend in paradise.
