But it didn't last long because...
We were off to La La Land!
Yeah! Going somewhere exciting makes getting up so much easier.
He led our group outside onto the curb
where he took our bags
and checked us in.
We were done in less than fi
Good move. Saved yourself lots of time.
I was stumped for a second.
But only a second.
I started to grin.
"Rode any horses lately?" I asked.
I knew someone had to be sore. Sorry it was Kay.
She, of course, is not allowed
to mock me when I throw out my back.
This would be cause for grounding.
That's so not fair.
No. Not going to the bathroom.
I mean, not going straight
to the baggage carousel.
I always hit the bathroom first.
You're having the worst luck with this. You really needed to do some more research.
Well, looky here.
Free parking on the street.
Free is always good.
Kay collected her little jar of sand.
I told her that she had to touch the water.
"You have to touch the Pacific
on this side of the continent."
Yes, you have to touch it.
I was disappointed to not see
Jaws appear and devour one.
Wrong coast. Jaws in on the East coast.
(Get the connection?
Bonus points if you tell me if you do or not.)
I get it! Classic Beverly Hills Movie.
We went back to our car.
Tails between our legs.
This would be me too.
"Dad!" She urgently hissed. "Look!"
Kay has been in love with Wolverine for a while now.
I have to ask was this someone dressed up as Wolverine or was he shooting a scene for a movie?
Right?
Am I right?
Tell me whatcha think.
Bonus points.
Totally right.
We popped into the Roosevelt
just to say we went.
I did take a couple photos,
but none worth posting.
Bummer, I would have loved to see some of the Roosevelt.
I saw a familiar face
and said hello.
She asked me to sit for a bit
and I asked if it was okay
if Kay took a photo of us
as a keepsake.
She was very happy to accommodate.
I really enjoyed your photo montage. You both really hammed it up and had fun.
Some names I didn't recognize,
some I was quite surprised by.
Some made me sad with the knowledge
that the people who'd placed them
were no longer with us.
I suppose that's the whole point, isn't it?
I love old movies. I would really geek out to see this.
I really enjoyed looking at
the hand and foot prints.
Nostalgia... it's a real thing.
I would have leaked. So many great actors and actresses.
But aren't you excited about seeing
yet another photo of a couple of beds
and a bathtub?
Say yes.
Bonus points....
Yes I am. You room looks pretty nice.
Kay just wanted water
while I ordered a mango smoothie.
Wow! Was that good!
I love mango!
Chicken pot stickers,
and vegetable spring rolls.
Yum!
Both were good, although the
spring rolls were possibly
a touch over cooked.
Not enough to worry about, though.
I was just thinking the same thing. They look a little too crunchy.
I'd never had this before
although I'd heard about it
since Peking (now Beijing) was founded.
This looks real good. I'm sorry you were too full to truly enjoy it.
The place is really pretty at night.
Very pretty.
She'd read them, but had borrowed
from a friend.
She wanted the set
and she wanted it from here.
I've read them all too. I can understand why she would want the set. My books are an old assortment of paperback and hardback.
