Adventures in LA

Over Labor Day weekend Jim's brother, Dan, came out to visit for a mini-vacation. Jim and Dan had a great time surfing, boogie boarding and checking out San Diego while I had to work.

I didn't want to miss out on all the fun so I took a day off of work to spend time with the boys in LA. Dan had never been to Hollywood or Beverly Hills so we thought it would make the perfect day trip. We checked out Mann's Chinese Theater, walked the "walk of stars", took pictures with Samuel L Jackson and Marilyn Monroe, and caught a sight of the Hollywood sign.




Since Jim moved out to California, he has been wanting to go the famous Pink's hot dog stand. We picked the perfect day to go...it was nice a warm as we waited in the long line for our food. In the end it was worth it to Jim and Dan.





As we continued on our way, we drove through Beverly Hills and walked Rodeo Drive. Jim was kind of enough to let me make a purchase on Rodeo Drive... a bottle of water... that was all we could afford. To add a little fun to the drive, we just started driving up into the hills with all the insanely large homes and awesome views. We pretended that we belonged there but know the reality we will never live there.




To end our LA adventure, we were lucky enough to attend a live taping of "Accidentally on Purpose", a new comedy this fall starring Jenna Elfman. I never knew how much goes into a thirty minute episode...or how much could be shot in a studio. There were nine different sets within the studio! All of the actors were very personable and interacted with the audience throughout the night. I can't wait to see the episode when it premiers...or hear our laughs!
