Farmer's Market

This morning, we walked through the farmer's market and decided that we will be staying in Honolulu forever ;)

 Ready for something delicious!

 First stop, CORN!

Even K got in on the delicious corn action!

 I'm ready for another treat!

 PIZZA!

 Say GREEN JUICE!

 Goodbye wonderful fruits, veggies and flowers!

Hello Diamond Head

(and hello broken stroller!)

La Brea Tar Pits

Both Autumn and I have had a weird fascination with the La Brea Tar Pits, and now we have a curious two year old, so it seemed like the perfect morning activity before heading back to Palm Springs. After visiting the pits, and hearing, "That one fell into the pit too!" from Kylie at every single fossil in the museum, we grabbed a bite to eat from a food truck and drove along on our way. 

We checked into Ron and Julie's million dollar mobile home and had a great night visiting and playing.

 Welcome to the pits!

Beware of tar pit!

 Bubble trouble!

 We're in a tar bubble!

 It's a mastadon!

 Oh no a saber toothed tiger!

 Oh no! We're sinking!

 RAWR!

Birthday Trip! Sao Paulo

For Autumn's birthday, we left Kylie behind with friends and jetted off to Sao Paulo for an adults only weekend adventure of shopping and eating!

 First stop: Micheladas at Oba - A Thai / Mexican / Brazilian restaurant!

 Chips and salsa! How I've missed you!!

 Next stop:  O'Malley's Irish Pub for Guiness!!

 Third stop:  Farto!

Just kidding, but I guess Drogaria Farto must be expanding!

 Another hilarious store! 

It was so nice to stroll around Jardims in the cool spring weather and shop!

 All hail the king!

We had a fantastic sushi dinner at Nagayama, followed by drinks at the rooftop bar, The View! 

Happy Birthday Autumn!!

 The next morning, we got all bundled up to brave the "freezing cold" (60 degree) weather, and headed out to Starbucks for breakfast on our way to Liberdade for another day of eating and shopping!

 Should I walk or not!?!

 Spring roll delight at the street market

 Can't go anywhere in Brazil without getting meat on a stick!

 We spent the rest of the morning browsing through all the great stores and stocking up on Japanese kitchen ware, including Autumn's crowning glory - the 4 tier dumpling steamer!!

Goodbye Liberdade!

We spent the afternoon back in Jardims for one more visit to O'Malley's and a bit more wandering and shopping.

 The birthday girl!

 One last look at the city

We had a freak accident with our in-room safe, and maintenance had to come up and drill the door open, so we could get our stuff!! Luckily, they got it open in time for our super-fancy Italian dinner at Fasano.

Our loot!
