a trip to china. . .kind of

a few weeks ago, my dad came to visit.  i planned two days of excursions to keep us busy.  day 1 was a trip to chinatown in downtown la.  ironically, there is a little french cafe called phillipe's that's been around since 1908 right in chinatown that serves the best french dip sandwiches.  i'm a sucker for a good sandwich, so we started there. . .

with happy, full bellies, we just walked around and took in all of the cool culture and color!

we visited phoenix bakery which is where adam and i got our wedding cake long ago.  neither of us even ate the cake at our wedding, so we decided to stop in and try a slice.  it was delish. . .moist white cake with fresh sliced strawberries and thick whipped cream frosting.
