Descanso Garden // Off-the-Shoulder Top

While we were enjoying a family dim-sum brunch, Red Bear got an invitation to a “play date” with one of his best buddies ever who now goes to a different school.   I am a good mom (of course, so I let him go play with his buddy, and suddenly my husband and I had some free time, so we decided to make a quick visit to the famous Descanso Garden, a beautiful public garden not too far away.   We had talked about going there often before, but hadn’t made it there yet — partly because it’s hard to get Red Bear excited about strolling around plants, no matter how beautiful!  So this was out big chance!

It was a beautiful day with perfect weather, and it was a really nice way to celebrate Mother’s Day for me.  Just think about it, moms — no restless 8-year old around, but only beautiful things — and Red Bear thought he got the best of it, because he had a blast with his pal for a few hours.  Not bad, right?   It was a real win-win Mother’s Day!
