First stop in LA. Oh, I would be in so much trouble if a Lee’s opened in Seattle. Also tried my first In-N-Out burger. Now I know why it’s so popular. Dashed to Okayama Kobo Bakery & Cafe before hopping on our flight home. Even the box is super cute. My buns made it back…

85°C cake for the birthday boy!

The first crocuses popped up in our yard.

Happy new year!
