Ss, here's another idea, maybe for a 3-4 day getaway trip with you and D if you could find the time and money...check out Langley, WA. It's on whidbey island, just north of Seattle. One of the best days of our entire M was there a few years ago. Lots of little independent book stores, a view of the Cascades. It was simply amazing. There are a few rare book shops. We didn't buy anything crazy, but it was just fun hanging out in a place like that, flipping through old books. I had to seriously talk W out of buying a $4000 Audubon lithograph book lol.
I dont know how easy it is to get from LA to there. You take a ferry to whidbey island. I think they have some public transport on the island. We were in Seattle for a wedding, and had a day to kill. Picked Langley on a whim and had one of the best days ever! http://www.visitlangley.com/downloads/langley_38.pdf
