time for another road trip! this time to hang out with my cohort, alyssa. i drove up on a saturday morning to her house just outside of downtown la. i always go up saturday morning because friday afternoon traffic makes me very, very sad. there was a slight drizzle when i left and i encountered no traffic on my way up. i got to her house just under 2 hours. that's the way to go! after i got there, we got ready to head out for the day and went out for breakfast. we were taking a felting class in the early afternoon and gave ourselves enough time for breakfast and a little window shopping before our class started. our first stop of the day was to the village bakery and cafe in atwater village. this is what we looked at while we stood in line to order, trying to decide what we wanted to eat for breakfast. this case contained cupcakes, tarts, and various brownies. we've only scratched the surface! there were also all kinds of muffins, cinnamon rolls, mini pies… cookies and cakes
