Two for the Blog: Afternoon Jaunt

This past weekend, I was desperately in need of a new book. Instead of walking to the bookstore, Brian and I decided to check out the new West Hollywood library. It just opened up recently near the Pacific Design Center and made for a great afternoon stroll. En route, we happened upon the cutest little community garden on a quiet section of San Vincente Blvd. The fenced-in garden had plots of land for each house/family and you have the space to grow whatever you please. How fun to spend time every Saturday morning (in my mind) to head out with the garden tools, do some pruning and weeding, take home some fresh lemons, tomatoes, basil, what have you and cook an early supper using my fresh ingredients. I would love that! I wish there were more of these around here.
After I stopped with the scenario-making in my head, we made it to the library and it was gorgeous. It looks almost more like a museum than a library. I signed up, got my card and took two books home to read. One of which I started and finished on Sunday.
Of course, on the way home we took a detour for some happy hour beers at 3rd Stop. Such a fun afternoon trip to enjoy the city. Plus, happy hour creates a happy Brian.
