So throughout November and december, Seth has had to go to LA a couple times for interviews and such. When he interviews, the schools usually do a dinner the night before. So even though we live within driving distance (a little over an hour) from LA; since he had to be there the night before and the day of the interviews, we found it cost almost the same to just stay overnight in a hotel as it would to drive back and forth two days in a row. We love (nice) hotels! so obviously that was our choice. Priceline made it possible for us to stay in some pretty awesome hotels at some very affordable prices. We made the most of it!!!
Everytime we got to our room in whichever hotel; Zeegan would climb up on the bed and cover herself in pillows! she loves hotel bed pillows! LOL... Can't say I blame her, most the time I joined her in the pillows as soon as I dropped the luggage on the couch or in the closet!!!
During the days, while Seth was interviewing, the kids and I would swim until checkout and then we went and found fun parks to play at until Daddy was finished....
We loved seeing the LA temple! We visited the visitor center and played with all their fun activities. Rocco loved coloring his family and Zeegan loved the big Jesus statue. She kept yelling "SHE-SUS! SHE-SUS! SHE-SUS!!!" at the top of her lungs, while pointing. She loves Jesus.
We visited the Griffith Observatory and played in the park and walked the neat trails around the area. It was so beautiful and the kids really loved hiking the trails and playing outside. I believe we will frequent those trails and playgrounds often if we match with one of the LA schools for residency...
We walked the Walk of Fame. And guess what I learned?! (Besides that its not so cool as it looks in movies- it's really quite dirty). John Wayne had very tiny feet for a guy, and Doris Day had very large hands for a woman! LOL. I love Doris Day.
We couldn't go to LA and not try Roscoes!!! We might've been some of the only non-african-american peoples in there, but we ate like the best of them!!! The waffles were FABULOUS! and we loved us some chicken! Yummy!!! Who knew the two work so well together? Not I. But now that I know, I think we should start a tradition of Fried Chicken with waffles at our house every New Years Eve....
