Los Angeles, Here We Come!



That was our view from our hotel room in LA. We looked east to the Hollywood Hills. You can see the Hollywood sign and the Griffith Observatory!

We did lots of fun stuff, and we got to ride around in a shiny white Mustang convertible that I didn't get a chance to take a proper picture of.

This is a picture of Jay drinking iced coffee and eating a (really good) jelly donut at the Farmer's Market:



This is a picture of the sunset at Venice Beach:



Here is a picture of me in front of the Walt Disney Concert Hall:



Here's a picture of Jay and I with Homer and Marge Simpson, some friends we met along the way:



And here are some pictures from the top of the Griffith Observatory:





It was a great trip, despite the fender bender on the last night. I think we're gonna go back and STAY AWHILE!

Next update I'll talk about what we've been doing since then.

Hey Strangers!

Sorry for the delay in postings, Mom. I got Spring Fever. But I promised Jay if he uploaded all the pictures he's been taking of our travels and adventures lately that I would write a new blog post. Here it is!

There's a lot to cover, so I'll probably be posting over the next few days.

Today I'll post some pictures from me and Jay's trip to Austin. We went for Amber's wedding and to see my lovely family. Here are some pictures:








Oh, whoops. Those are actually just the pictures Jay has taken of himself in the last few weeks. He's so photogenic he can't help himself!

Here are the pictures from Austin:







Austin was awesome. Great hot weather, lots of family time, and a fun city to play in. Amber's wedding was in the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, and was really nice, and quite emotional (for me) and a pretty big deal, considering all Amber and I have been through. It was really special to me that I got to be a part of her wedding. She looked great and was so happy. I was so happy for her!

I also got to see my cutie-pies Kylie and Aidan and play with them in the park. Jay got to do some drawings of them, which is one of his specialties. We also got to hang out at Robbie and Ericka's for a bit before we left for the airport. Ericka was looking great with her little baby in her tummy! And Matt Sandlin was there, so it was good to see cousins that I don't get to see that often.

Ok, that's it for this post. Check back soon for the next part--our trip to LA!!
