The LA Garment District

Yesterday Debbie and I decided to fly over to LA and drive to the garment district which we heard was a wonderful place to look at fabric. We had a great day but were majorly disappointed in the garment district. It was like Chinatown only dirtier and hotter. As we were abandoning our plan we turned out of the parking lot and were immediately delivered into the most wonderful area full of low priced beading materials. We spent the rest of the day looking at beads and had a really great time.

No better place to fly a kite than in a park overlooking the ocean

Andrew sported a new hat which he refused to remove the plastic hang tag from even after the guy in the drugstore offered to cut it off for him.
