Day 22: Shop 'Til You Drop

Start: Los Angeles, CA
End: Los Angeles, CA
Miles Driven: 15.0 (5247.0 total)


Ever since Jack in the Box, Patrick had been itching for his next west coast fast food experience. Today, he experienced In-N-Out Burger. The menu was a tribute to simplicity: one can get a hamburger, cheeseburger, or Double Double (double meat, double cheese). Patrick obviously opted for the latter along with the only other menu item, french fries, and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Next, it was Katrina's turn for some indulgence. Rodeo Drive is the heart of swanky Beverly Hills, and though we didn't have enough guts to actually go inside Valentino, Dolce and Gabbana, Versace or any of the other stores, window shopping was pretty impressive. We also stopped by Beverly Hills City Hall just a few blocks away.

After Beverly Hills, we headed to Melrose for a different shopping experience altogether. Vintage stores lined the street for block after block (vintage in the sense of old, not necessarily cheap). Patrick did find some gems though, which you all can look forward to seeing in future blog posts.
