On Tuesday we all slept in late then went to the Getty around midday. Such a beautiful spot!
After wandering the gardens and checking out a couple galleries, we headed to a really cool street, Abbot Kinney, for shopping and a yummy dinner at Gjelina's - thanks Ron and Mandy (Izzy's parents) for shouting dinner, such a treat!
After dinner we went to watch a show that the producer of Greasy Grimey Gopher Guts is also producing! On the way there we had the most hilarious encounter with a couple reeeaally cute guys in another car. We drove past them and all waved, smiled, and beeped at each other - which was cute - and we ended up driving with them behind us for ages! Amidst our giggles, we all egged Luce on to write her phone number on a piece of paper and put it up against the window next time they overtook us. Finally she did it (even though she wrote down Han's number) and when they passed they took a photo of it! Haha too funny! We ended up getting off at different exits BUT then they somehow ended up next to us again! The last time they drove past, one of them (the cutest one) waved his phone and flashed us a smile. We were feeling pretty optimistic about the whole thing buuuut we're still waiting for him to call! Haha it was a fun little flirty experience though, even if we don't hear from them...
When we'd nearly reached the theatre, we picked up Sullivan and headed over to see the Spring Shorts!
The show was super funny and we were excited to be able to support Jake after all the support he gave us!
On Wednesday Luce got up early and went in to finally do her scene with Chambers! It was a total success and it feels great to have it done before going overseas. When she got back, we all got ready to go spend the day in Hollywood! At 11:57, though, Han remembered that we had to move the Sentra for street cleaning at 12:00!!! She raced downstairs and ran over to the car just in the nick of time! The key clicker didn't seem to be working, so she unlocked the door old school and shoved the key in the ignition to get outta there... Nothing. The engine didn't even click over, it was D.E.A.D. To make matters worse, Han had left her phone in the apartment, so she couldn't even call Luce for help! She stopped a guy walking by and asked to borrow his phone - which wasn't even helpful because Luce didn't pick up - AND he said he had jumper cables in his car and offered to help! So, so nice!! After about twenty minutes trying - and four or five other offers of assistance - we had to give in and call AAA. By this time Luce, Sarah, and Izzy had come down, but there was no way that car was starting without a new battery. Anyway, in no time the AAA guy showed up, switched out the battery, and we were on our way! No sign at all of the street cleaning...
We headed to the 101 Coffee Shop for brunch and went absolutely nuts! It was a breakfast feast!! We'll definitely be going back there soon.
We stopped by Sam French to show Sarah the glorious actors' bookshop, then went on to Hollywood Blvd and Jimmy Kimmel!
The show was SO COOL!!! Julia Louis Dreyfus and Michael Pena were SUPER cool and really funny - as was Jimmy Kimmel himself! We also got to see London Grammar perform and we loved their sound. Such a fun experience to share with the girls!
Afterwards we went to Ryan Gosling's restaurant, Tagine, for a decadent Moroccan dinner, SO tasty and the restaurant itself was really cozy and intimate.
Although we didn't spot Ryan Gosling at the restaurant, we DID have a serendipitous celeb encounter on Thursday! We were on our way to hike to the Hollywood sign and stopped at a cafe to go to the loo. While Izzy was in there, Han was casually looking around and who should she spy but TED from How I Met Your Mother AND Josh Bowman, the heartthrob on Revenge!!! When Izzy opened the door of the bathroom, Han pushed her back in, explained the situation, and after Han peed we worked up the courage to ask for a pic! We decided Josh Radnor (Ted) was the less threatening/more famous of the two, and he graciously agreed to take a photo with us!
The best thing is, you can see Josh Bowman in the background!
Our hike to the sign was short lived because one of the roads was blocked off, but we still managed to get pretty close!
After that we met Mum for a Dim Sum (Yum Cha) lunch, went to Melrose Ave for some more shopping, and opted for a quiet night in making cupcakes instead of clubbing haha no regrets there either!
Friday was our last day together and we packed a lot in! We had brekkie at the Urth Caffe in Beverly Hills then walked around Rodeo Drive!
After seeing the highest end stores around, we opted for some cheaper shopping at the sample sales in Downtown LA! For our last hurrah lunch we took the girls to Bronzed Aussie - amazing as always - then dropped Sarah at the airport in the afternoon.
We had an evening of Izzy + twin time and it was really lovely! We got boba, hung out in the hot tub, and had a super relaxing night.
Saturday really was the last hurrah, so we decided to try our luck again at the Beachwood Cafe where we'd spotted the celebs on Thursday. We didn't see anyone famous BUT the food was great and it seemed a fitting way to end the week!
We made one last boba run (Izzy's hooked!) then went to the airport to say goodbye :(
When we got home we toootally crashed out! What a huge week!! House of Cards and grilled cheese sandwiches were exactly what we needed - that and an early night!
We woke up yesterday ready to go! We cleaned the apartment and packed for Austria as quickly as we could, then headed out to Mum and Q's! Mum made crunchy chicken casserole for dinner and we watched Frozen together, a great start to our holiday!
We did the last of our packing this morning and headed to a LAX for the third time in four days - except this time we're the ones boarding the plane!
We're standing in the longest line we've EVER seen for security, but, true to form, we left heaps of time to get through. A quick lunch on the other side and we'll be off to Austria! AHH!! SO unreal! We can't wait for the wedding and many other adventures in store!
