Day Trip to LA

We had to go to LAX to buy plane tickets for our summer vacation so we thought we would make a day of it. We aren't very good at exploring all the things to do in the wonderful area we live in but after this day trip we are sure going to do it more often. There is a great, cheap ice cream sandwich place we had to try. We waited in line at least 30 minutes but it was worth it. We got 5 ice cream sandwiches and 2 shaved ice for $11.50. YUM!
We were enjoying our food on the grass of UCLA when we remembered the Festival of Books was being held on campus. So we headed over with only 30 minutes left and happened to stumble upon one of my favorite kids authors, David Shannon. We bought a book and he signed it for us! I wish we had more time at the Festival but my wallet was fine to leave. I love books, kid books, and would have spent lots of money. We ended the day walking 3rd street promenade and Santa Monica Pier. It was a great day!!
