It’s been awhile since I’ve taken Stevie anywhere new, because… well… you know. Stevie. I almost said “he’s too unpredictable”, but actually, no. That’s wrong. He is so predictable that I know we’re not going to have that much fun. So I’ve been sticking to the usual activities that involve trains and playgrounds and… I guess…
It was a hot and windy day. This mom was so desperate to do anything other than an indoor playground, that she frantically searched the internet for “Things to do in LA with kids”. I quickly ruled out art fairs, music classes and new parks in ghetto neighborhoods. One of the items that popped up…

OK, so let’s talk about what we did while the cutest nephew in the world was visiting. (I should mention that my sister was here too. I know she sometimes gets overshadowed by the cuteness of the kid, but she is fun to be around too! She’s such a good mom and likes to have…
