California Sun

We had such a good time visiting Andrea, Evan, Jack, and Dave for a week in Palmdale!!! It was a spur-of-the-moment road trip with Mom and it was awesome. We drove into LA almost every day, hit up the local urgent care and made many Islands of Sodor with Evan which Jack promptly destroyed with one swoop of his hand.

California, January 2009!!
-Saturday, January 24, 2009: Arrive 


-Sunday, January 25, 2009: Go to church.


- Monday, January 26, 2009: Went to Pasadena. Shopped on Colorado Blvd then ate lunch at Cheesecake Factory. Went to Huntington Library Art Collection and Botanical Gardens.









-Tuesday, January 27, 2009: Went to Hollywood, The Grove shopping mall and Farmers Market with great Gyros.

Adorable Jack looking victorious as he crawled up onto a panton staking chair in a dressing room.  He is just too cute for words!!




We got to take a trolley ride at The Grove and Evan LOVED IT!!!






-Wednesday, January 28, 2009: Stayed in Palmdale, sick, set up Evan's Big Boy Bed.



-Thursday, January 29, 2009: Doctor, Went to Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive and Sprinkles Cupcakes.
Only Evan would be able to find a stick on the street in Beverly Hills :)  


SPRINKLES CUPCAKES- They really are THAT good.  Lesley said the red velvet trumps her's but I'm not 100% convinced.  They were really expensive for cupcakes but they might be worth it.  



Here we are on Rodeo Drive. It is short and doesn't live up the hype but I still liked it.  




This was a really weird experience.  We stopped again at Rodeo Drive after our trip to the LA Temple and as we were walking back to the car from Tiffany's, he stopped us and asked us if we wanted to take a photo with him.  He was wearing a red morning coat and top hat and sort of looked official so we took a photo with him, no money was involved.  It was weird to say the least.  


-Friday, January 30, 2009: LA Temple



It was 80 degrees in LA that day and it felt like Spring- what a rude awakening I had when we got back to Salt Lake!  

-Saturday, January 31, 2009: Drive Home.

Thanks for an amazing time Andrea and Dave- It really was so much fun.

Everyone looks so cute! I'm glad that there is photographic evidence of your fun time away from me. Evan and Jack look so big and grown up.

I'll come again only if you promise me another trip to the urgent care in Landcaster! Haha, just kidding.
