California Trip Part 1

Over President's Day weekend, we decided to head to California. Jamie flew in from Portland and my parents drove out after spending time in St. George. We all met at Jim and Jill's for an exciting weekend. Love the sleeping arrangements. It's the best. Nothing says family vaca like wall to wall air matresses. I love it!!

Getting ready for the day. How many women can we fit in the bathroom?






Good thing we get along and can all share the bathroom.


The group getting Sprinkles Cupcakes. My dad did not understand what was so great about them--and wasn't sure waiting in line for a cupcake was worth it. We love them!



Introducing Dad to Pinkberry. Aka: Crackberry. It's so addicting. We had to have one everyday.




The group at the Grove. I think the Crackberry is a hit.
Next day, Downtown LA. Always a good time. Lisa showing off her purchases. It was totally crowded. Next Stop: Lunch. This little joint was pretty tasty. You walked in and it was like you stepped back in time. Seriously, 1950's diner. Great french dip sandwiches. However, there was a long line. My dad had no problem waiting in this line for the sandwich.






Next stop: Griffin Observatory.

RJ giving a science lesson. Didn't realize he was a science geek. Who know?
We had to park pretty far away and then hike up. I was ready to bag the whole thing, but we made it and had a good time.
More to come!

LA was so much fun. I love the pictures you took. I'm just not sure what is going on with my hair in every picture, yikes!

It's funny what we are willing to wait in line for. I'm suddenly really hungry!
