Friendship Hill & Apple Annie's


Last week, we found the time to visit Friendship Hill where Albert Gallatin lived. Copied straight from Friendship Hill's website: Albert Gallatin is best remembered for his thirteen year tenure as Secretary of the Treasury during the Jefferson and Madison administrations. In that time he reduced the national debt, purchased the Louisiana Territory and funded the Lewis & Clark exploration. Gallatin's accomplishments and contributions are highlighted at Friendship Hill, his restored country estate. Ta da! A little more history for you =) The grounds are beautiful. I can only imagine what it would look like in the fall when all the leaves are different colors. Pretty! We didn't stay long because we were hungry... We went to eat at this adorable cafe called Apple Annie's. The restaurant is inside an old house that has only about 20 tables. Everything is mixed and matched like they bought it at auctions or garage sales. It's really really cute. They are known for their huge desserts, which were super yummy.

I'd be careful; they won't let you wear plaid or flannel type stuff in LA so get as much use out of those clothes as you can. Don't get me wrong, I think you look great. But you know how those CA people are...
