An Indiana Jones adventure

My kids school is totally working the Veteran’s Day holiday, they had today off also. Just so I didn’t have to listen to two motor mouths all day long, my kid’s friend and her, I drove up to Will Rogers Park and led them on an off path adventure, pushing through tall grasses and low hanging tree vines. It took some coaxing at times, nine year old’s can get whiny, but once the fun kicked in, it had it’s desired effect, giggling, yakking and admiring nature’s beauty, an Indiana Jones’ kind of adventure. We paused at Inspiration point, which if you haven’t been, well, wow, you should see it sometime. It’s a gorgeous view of the coastline and the city of angels, LA.

When I realized they were maxed out in the energy department I drove them to Brentwood’s Country Market for some food, and as we sat there eating, I told them a story about how I’d come to find out about the best muffin you’d ever taste, ever, it’s called the Baker’s Muffin, a specialty item at City Cafe’ and they listened with rapt attention, then asked what’s it look like? That’s when I whipped it out of my bag and said, it looks like this : ) and that’s when I noticed that someone had been listening.

I saw a pair of mens’ legs reach down and place a shopping bag down at a tall chair just in front of us. I looked up and it was Harrison Ford, yes…the original Indiana Jones, and he hit me with that lop-sided grin. All I can say is, he may be aging but that grin is still quite sexy so, of course, I smiled right back at him. I think he was getting a kick out of my desert story and the end, the breaking out of the goods, that Baker’s muffin.

So, check it out…Inspiration Point and a Baker’s muffin, both make for a great day in LA : ) even better these two girls slept all the way home while I cranked up my favorite tunes…ah now that’s the ticket…

And how was your pre-Veteran’s Day Monday?
