LA LA LA!

Last weekend we traveled 3 (very LOOONG hours) to Los Angeles to visit my sister-in-love, Ashley. Here's a photo tour of our trip...enjoy!
This boy LOVED the airport, I mean what little boy doesn't??
Then we got on the plane. Things started off well, and then get worse. he was still for all of about 10 minutes. Then he climbed on us the entire way! Next time we will pay the extra 150 bucks and buy him is OWN seat!

We were telling Carson to SHHH! This was his response.
Finally we made it!!
And then we searched for the rental car. Finally we found the right place and they took us to our mini van. Although I have always said that I never wanted one, I must admit it was really nice. Still, I don't want one. I just can't do it people.

Then we loaded up and headed to the Starbucks where Ashley works. This entitled us to free drinks! What a fabulous way to start the trip!

Then we headed to some outdoor shopping area. Seriously I can't even remember the name of it. I was so tired and beaten from having my child crawl on me during the 3 hour flight. I was so so so tired at this point!



But then we got a GREAT night of sleep. Carson actually took a morning nap and Gigi and Pa stayed in the hotel with him while we got out a bit. Our first thing to see?

The set of the show THE OFFICE!!! Chris, Ashley and I love love love this show! This is the street where it is filmed.
The building!
Wishing they were filming today, but they weren't.

Dwight's car.

Michael's car and sign. Notice the NY license plate. But we were in CA! Tricky tricky!
Meredith's van. Classic.



On the way home we went down a famous street where celebrities live. Is it bad that I can't remember the name of it? Sorry Ashley!

The next morning we headed out to the beach. But first we needed burgers!
Then, on to Santa Monica!







Speedo man!!








Carson loved the beach! He really loved jumping the waves. But his second favorite thing? Ashley's roommate Brittany. He LOVED flirting with her!





Our little addict! Got to start 'em early! {no worries, it was only tea}







The next day we went down to Hollywood and down Robertson Blvd. We saw Crazy Robertson. Have you guys heard of this man? Google him. It's crazy!
Here's a little video of his skills!
Then on to the Kodak Theatre.



And the Walk of Fame and Chinese Theatre. So fun!


There's a Mickey Mouse Ice Cream shop and store on the Walk of Fame and Carson fell in love. This boy is seriously crazy about "Mipey"!



Kisses for Mipey!

Then inside to check out the loot!
Next, we went down Rodeo and then to Westwood.

As we walked bear the UCLA campus there was a group of fraternity boys running in their speedos. Classic LA!

All in all it was a great trip! Thank you Ashley for being the best hostess!!

How fun! I had to tell you that I was at Mom's group last night and thought it was so weird that I have been "stalking" your blog and there you were as the leader of the group! My husband and Chris were friends in college and I don't even remember how I came across your blog!
