Girls just love Dolls

American Girl Place October 2008


Hi Everyone!

My daughter and I took our very first trip to the American Girl Place doll shop in Los Angeles this past weekend. My daughter worked so hard to save up for her second American Girl doll. The first one she received as a Christmas present last year and she has been hooked ever since.
She decided to purchase Kit. She fell in love with the books and the recent summer movie. Since this was our first trip there we were simply amazed with everything we saw. If you have never been there and you have a daughter who is American Girl doll lover at heart you are in for a real treat.
I will attempt to give you a quick over view of the store. When you walk in the bottom level features the current popular doll. Clothing and accessories to match for you and your doll. There is also a beauty salon for those dolls with nasty knots to have a new hair style for a fee. The second floor is a museum and store wrapped into one. Each doll have a cove of sorts that displays clothing, accessories, books, games, tapes and other items that feature that doll. Dancer took off for the Kirsten cove because this was her first American Girl doll. I treated her to a new outfit. She was so excited and had a difficult time trying to pick out just one.
After finally making our purchases we headed for the cafe area. We didn't have a reservation but checked to see if there was any cancellations . Luckily there was so we treated ourselves to a scrumptious lunch that was worth the fun and to see the priceless smile on my daughters' excited face. She wasn't expecting this treat at all. After the waitress seated us she handed us two doll highchairs for my daughter American dolls. Our lunch consisted of a first course of sweet and sticky cinnamon rolls. The second course was veggies and dip, tiny cheesy potato skins, and egg salad cherry filled tomatoes. The third course was our main course Dancer chose the Tic Tac Toe pizza (very large portion) and I chose the sun dried tomato quiche ( it came with a small herb salad). Our food was yummy! The grand finally was a small flower pot filled with chocolate moose, a sugar cookie and a small heart shaped butter cream cake. There were a couple of souvenirs to take home hair ties (napkin rings) and the daisy fake flowers that filled our moose flower pots.
My daughter had such a great time that she is already planning on her return visit once she saves enough money again to purchase her own new American doll.

Blessings,
Amy
