California Day 1

We decided to take a week trip down to California to visit Mike's uncle and aunt. Mike's sister and her husband were also going to be in California that week so it worked out perfect!

We flew in on Tuesday and had a full day of fun.

Started with

driving down town and doing a little exploring.

Mike wanted to see the Staples center (big arena where two basketball teams, and hockey team plays)


The Great Wayne Gretzky

We then walked over to the Grammy Museum (which if you are ever in the LA area I highly recommend this museum, we could have spent all day there)

You are not allowed to take pictures in this museum but Mike being Mike of course tried to sneak some...

Bob Marley legacy was the visiting exhibit.

This museum had hand written original lyrics from Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, James Brown and many more, the interesting thing about these lyrics were most of them were written on napkins or hotel stationary. They also had a big display of Michael Jackson's jackets and gloves.

After the Grammy Museum we made our way down to

Dodger Stadium. We went with Mike's uncle Eric and his brother Chris. The game started at 7 and we finally left at 10 (three hours in and it was only in the 7th inning... looong game). There were tons of foul balls and we had excellent seats right behind the pitchers mount, so lots of foul balls came our way and I freaked every time.


(More to come)
