The Grove, LA

By Heart2Heart | Shopping, Travel | 3 Comments

My sister told me to visit the Grove for shopping as it is relatively new and her daughter said that this is the place where all the stars go. It reminded me of Disneyland 🙂 but everything is shopping and dining

Their food court type of eating is outdoor and is called Farmer’s Market. We were there late already so most of the stalls were either closed, closing already or running out of supply. But it looked really good and interesting.

What was interesting in the mall was their valet parking… RED CARPET and with a beautiful lounging area while you wait for your car 🙂 and of course in LA, you will see all the beautiful and expensive cars all over!

We had lunch in this very nice patisserie in an area sort of like Soho with nice quaint and one of a kind shops. Heart2Heart loves these kinds of places 🙂 It reminded me a bit of Bon Apetit Patisserie in Rustan’s

Another beautiful residential area, Venice Beach. Smaller homes ( expensive for sure ) but more modern and more “artsy” 🙂

A very lively and very beautiful area with many colorful sights

In LA, everyday is a sunny day…so everyday is BEACH DAY!! 🙂 Everyone is enjoying the SUN!

LA Homes

By Heart2Heart | Homes and Interiors, Travel | 2 Comments

Over the weekend and taking a break from work, Tito Joey brought us to Los Angeles City! He drove us around and showed us the city. Everywhere in Southern California is quite far from each other that you really need a car to get around especially in the heat… though it is not humid. We went through the different residential areas and wow, we were amazed at all the huge and beautiful homes!! And they are one after the other. They all have beautiful landscaping and some even have sculptures in their front lawn…and not to mention the beautiful and expensive cars parked in these houses! WOW!!

I was able to take some photos from a moving car…I wish i could have taken more…

Mexican Fast Food in Southern California

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | 2 Comments

We love love Mexican fast food 🙂 More of James…but I like it too. Being in Southern California- there is a wide variety to choose from, you will go crazy. But just like anything else, you can only have enough…after awhile you cannot have too much of the same thing

Of course Taco Bell is James’ favorite

And Del Taco seems to be another favorite

The Taco factory was not really our type but we were just curious so we tried it

There was a green burrito right beside our hotel, so it was convenient and James seemed to like it. It’s nice also because it is together with a Carl’s Jr. so you have a choice of either mexican or burgers

Don Gustavo is not a fastfood chain. We were invited and we enjoyed it

Wine Works, Mission Viejo

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Right beside Super Suppers ( Super Suppers October 18, 2009 ) is Wine Works. A very nice wine shop with a restaurant.

The owner, Darren, is there to greet you

We came in to have an early dinner. I was mostly tempted to have the Brie Fondue which is one of their specialties and the pulled pork quesadilla. Both very very YUMMY!
