Bye L.A.!

Our last full day in L.A. *sob*!!! We have had the best time on our trip and we are all depressed to leave--the thought of getting back in the school/work/house-showing routine--UGH!!

We had a leisurely morning hanging at the hotel with some room service and then we headed out.

Closer-upper:
I headed off to meet a friend for lunch (Tami--I'm sorry you couldn't make it!!) and we had a nice time at the Cheesecake Factory and strolling around the Farmer's Market. I hit a sticker store to keep Pickle entertained on the plane--she can play with stickers for hours. Here is Pickle and my friend's daughter--they were born exactly one day apart!
After that we made our annual pilgrimage to the Brady Bunch house. This is the house they used for the exterior shots and the owners have since put a fence up--it's cool to see!
It seems I was slacking off in the picture-taking department today--we went to "Japan Town" and checked out some cool stores including Giant Robot One and Two. I bought a cool bag with a raccoon wearing a chef's hat.

Then we came back to the hotel earlier than usual to let the kids swim in the pool--we've had such full days on this trip there was just never time for the pool.

Then we rushed off to dinner, but unfortunately the restaurant was kind of gross. It was freezing but they made us sit outside and the prices seemed too high. Here are the boys:

and Pickle there:
I ordered the lamb shank and I don't know how you can screw that up--but they did! It was completely unseasoned and yucky. I've felt sick ever since...
my rancid lamb...barf!!


Here's one more of Pickle there:

And the boys near a fountain:


So that's it!! We might try to make one more Pinkberry run before we take off tomorrow.

We'll miss you L.A.!!
