L.A. State: Are you making muffins instead of working on your single?

Since this blog is probably making it look like all we do in LA is frolic, we want to remind everyone that last week was the first full week of internships and classes. That means working 9-6 every day, plus classes from 7:30-10 three nights a week. Therefore, we definitely earned a weekend of fun.

After enjoying sleeping in, we decided to spend our Saturday afternoon exploring Beverly Hills. With new LA resident and Bay State alumnus Michael Apgar in tow, we headed out, with Rodeo Drive as our destination.

Keeping our eyes peeled for celebrities, we walked past every designer store known to man. We even saw someone with a tray of glasses of champagne waiting inside the Louis Vuitton store- that's service.

We came upon a cupcake store called Sprinkles that had a line halfway down the block. Having heard from co-workers that it is a must-visit place in LA, we decided it was worth the wait. That was absolutely the right decision, since our cupcakes were beyond delicious.

Of course we couldn't leave without visiting the famous Beverly Hills sign, and, because we're us, taking silly pictures.

Always looking to top the silly picture scale, we found a crazy tree that was just begging to be posed with...and slid down. This photo, taken with the self-timer, earned us a thumbs up from a random passerby.

Not ready to go home just yet, we literally headed for the hills and took a drive past some of the most expensive dream homes I've ever seen. New life goal: own one of these houses, if only for the amazing view.
