Mommy and daddy took a quick trip to LA this weekend. The whole trip idea started because the Aggies were playing against UCLA in the infamous Rose Bowl and daddy has always dreamed of seeing a game in the Rose Bowl. The trip ended up morphing into a non-stop 72 hour sightseeing adventure. Mommy is a
huge Harry Potter fan so daddy decided to take her to Universal Studios to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter...on September 1st, which is a big day in Harry Potter's world. The cool thing about Universal is they offer a "front of line" pass, which gets you to the front of every ride's line . We ended up spending the afternoon at the park and riding
every ride. We spent most of our time in the Wizarding World, which was amazing....
Saturday we asked our hotel for fun ideas for a morning in LA and we were pointed in the direction of the fashion district, which was a short walk from where we were staying. It was like being in another country as we walked through the outdoor market and the merchants opened their stores. We didn't buy anything but it was so much fun to see all the different sorts of sidewalk stores. Shortly after our walk to the fashion district we hopped an Uber to the Natural History Museum. We have been to a lot of museums all over the world, but this one was probably the best we'd been to. What was even cooler is that we the museum is next door to the famous LA coliseum and USC was playing a game...that day. Daddy bought us two cheap tickets so we could catch a game at the coliseum after we spent a few hours a the museum. The only problem was that it was HOT....so, so hot. Still, what a lifetime experience.
On Saturday night, we met up with Armando and Kayla for dinner and drinks, we walked all over downtown, danced and karaoked. Sunday was game day and thankfully it cooled off for the game. The Aggies played so well during the first half, but didn't hang on for the win. After the loss we hung out in the Rose Bowl to let the crowd clear and got to see the after game fireworks show, which was a very unique experience. By the time we got home on Monday, we were ready for a break and sleep!
Much Love,
We have spent the last two weeks furiously unpacking. It is shocking how many boxes of 'things' came out of our old house. We have finished unpacking the essentials and now we are tasked with the finishing touches, which is a lot....especially since we simply don't have enough furniture for the new house. This weekend we went furniture/rug shopping, which is always an exciting experience when you go with a 6 and 2 year old, who have better things to do.... We ended up looking at stuff in the store then going home and ordering everything online, which we expect to arrive in 2 weeks...whew!
