Alice and I went to LA to visit my cousin and her family.
We had a packed agenda for a short 4 day trip.
Alice absolutely loved our trip to Universal Orlando a few years ago, so of course, we had to go to Universal in LA. We did all our favorites....The Hippogryph, the Main Castle ride (of which I can't remember the name), The Mummy (MANY times) and a few new things such as the back lot tour and the Waterworld stunt show.
Funny story....we actually got STUCK on the Harry Potter castle ride for over an HOUR.
Luckily the kids stayed calm and entertained themselves.
Since Alice saw the movie Wonder and saw the Santa Monica Pier in the background of one of the scenes, she has wanted to visit it. The weather in February is pretty cold, so we are all wearing coats.
One night my cousins family took us to Gladstones for dinner. It was also a birthday celebration for my cousin. We were happy to be there and able to celebrate with them. After dinner we stopped by the Beverly Hills Hotel for drinks and the kids were hopeful to see a celebrity....they were sadly disappointed, but it was fun anyways.
Alice and I also wanted to visit the Holleywood Walk of Fame. We found many stars we liked, but I've selected one of our favorites each to share.
We saved a few dollars to get Michael Jackson to dance for us and pose for a picture, and I got a photo with Chewbacca.
Of course we visited the Sanrio store and purchased a cute Hello Kitty hoodie.
Alice had a blast in LA and can't wait to come back..... maybe next time we'll bring Dad.
