Favor boxes adventure =P

This past weekend weekend me and gary drove up to LA to buy these super cute favor boxes that were supposedly $16 for 100! (super sweet deal right? haha. I thought so too)

So we get to the store, and one of the first things we notice is a bold sign that says "CASH ONLY" and realize.. neither of us had nearly enough cash. Epp! The store manager told us there was a ATM right next door, but being the Asians we were, we didn't want to get charged those extra 3 dollars for using a non-bank ATM. Luck for us! i had my GPS with me, so we put it on "pedestrian mode" and went on adventure to find our respective Bank ATMs. The closest one we found was supposedly in a Building about 2 blocks away from us. But when we got there the security guard told us, yes there is a BOA ATM, but it gets shut down for the weekend. POOP! So we went on our way to the next closest ATM, a wells fargo one. and Oh MAN.. it lead us to the strangest places, we must have walked at least.. 10 blocks around in circles, and still no ATM anywhere in site! hahah. We end up walking around to the other side if the 1st building we were at with the BOA atm, and we peek inside, and see the BOA atm's totally ON and WORKING! LOL. So we walk all the way around back to the entrance (this building is HUMUNGOUS, surrounded by 4 streets, and for some reason you can only get in one way) we don't bother asking the security guard, and just go straight to the ATM. and it was totally on!! We were so happy!! that is untill.. i look in my purse.. and realize.. i didn't have my ATM card. T_T oh man. lol. So Gary ends up sticking in his bank card, and we get charged the extra $3 dollar fee anyways.

When we finally get back to the store. I asked the manager about the $16 for 100 boxes, and she seemed almost horrified haha she said there was no way she had quoted that price, and that it was $16 for 100 ribbons. lol! (peresonalized) So the actual price was about $45 dollars for 100 boxes. haha Needless to say, we did not take out enough money from the ATM to purchase the boxes, and we realized we were totally late for marriage counseling! haha so we scraped the idea and zoomed off (well as fast as we could through LA traffic)

We ended up at marriage counseling about an hour late. haha but it was still okay =) I guess the most amazing thing about this trip was that despite everything going very wrong, me and gary managed to have a lot of fun.

We took a mini video while we were lost in LA but i can't get it to upload right! haha >_< hehe oh well!
