You Know You Are In LA If...

Wicked!  Grandma Char, Me, Mom, & Megan
Crew, the perfect traveler!
We decided to go on a little walk one morning.  We ended up at a Home Depot.   It was a little weird and strange to find a McDonald's in the Home Depot, but we were happy because we were hungry for breakfast.   
The two perfect babysitters at dinner, my sister Megan and her husband Todd.
The Hooter Hider sure came in handy on this vacation.  My breast friend Crew accompanied me on this trip.  This is us waiting for our airplane in the Salt Lake Airport.  
Jocelyn, Crew, and Me on the airplane. 
You Know You Are in LA if...
-you consume 4000 calories in one dinner 
-you shop till you drop
-you are stuck in traffic for one hour to drive 5 miles
-there is a McDonald's in Home Depot
-your apartment neighbor asks how so many people can fit in one apartment
-when two woman make out openly in the loading area at the airport
and the list could go on and on
My trip to LA was so much fun.  Crew was the perfect traveling companion.  We dragged him everywhere and he was a trooper.  He took his naps in his car seat and stroller most days and went along with anything.  Wicked was absolutely amazing.  I loved every second of the show.  It was so funny.  I would definitely recommend it!  It was fabulous and definitely worth the trip to LA.   Thanks to my brother-in-law Todd for watching Crew during Wicked.  It was a great trip. Eating & Shopping pretty much filled our 3 days in LA.  We also found a few spare hours for a couple card games.
Restaurants we ate at...
-PF Chang
-In & Out
-California Pizza Kitchen
-Maggiano's
-Pink Berry

We went to 3 malls and shopped till we dropped.  My shopping pretty much consisted of Forever 21.  It fit right in to my budget.  What a great trip.  I love LA.  

P.S.  Grandma, I can't wait till San Diego for a May I and Heck rematch! 
My mom also has cute pictures of our trip on her blog.  Check it out!

I'm so glad you had a great time. I absolutely love Los Angeles. Jason wants to go, but I think he just wants to get a tattoo from Kat of 'L.A. Ink'. Help me talk him out of a tattoo!
