LA LA Land

I think I have already mentioned this, but we have been busy around here.  So busy that Tim and I both needed a break from the real world.  Since it is close and because two of our favorite people live there, we decided to take a mini trip to LA for the weekend. My mom had not visited since Mandy moved in with Tom so she decided to join us too. It was great to visit Mandy & Tom  and see where they live.  I think we did a pretty good job of seeing and eating our way through the city.
 First stop, Marina del Rey to check out the beaches and eat some dinner.
My daughter is most definitely a beach girl.  Shoes off before we even hit the sand.
And I have never seen so many beach volleyball courts ever...we counted 50+.
 
The Griddle Cafe for breakfast.  Click the link if you dare...but be prepared for some mouth watering descriptions.
We had pretty "basic" pancakes in comparison to what is on the menu but they were DE-LI-CIOUS!  And huge!
 
The view of LA from Griffith Park (which was SO cool!!)
 The Observatory
 "Welcome to Hollywood"
 
 Mandy & Tom with their city in the background
 "Uncle" Tom and Addy (it's not official...yet)
 
 Such a big girl

 Rodeo Drive...baby!
 Cute little walk through in Beverly Hills
 The Culver Hotel
 A HUGE thank you to our tour guides, Mandy & Tom!  We loved visiting you and we will be back, promise!
