Well Saturday B and I went off by ourselves- boring I know...We went to the Chinese Theater in Hollywood and looked at the feet and handprints. I think he was a bit disappointed because there's so much hype about Hollywood and really it's just kind of a scummy place and not all that exciting. I think he would have enjoyed a bus tour looking at the stars' homes, but he didn't want to pay for it. So we ate there and then went up to the observatory.
In the back of the Kodak theater- you can just see the Hollywood sign.
Griffith Observatory. It was REALLY neat- I'd never been inside because in all the years I've gone to CA I have never known it to be open to the public! There was a lot to see and not overly crowded. It was a nice uphill 1 mile hike though.
Then we went home and got Grandma and Mira and went to Venice. Once again, M loved the beach. She likes the sand, but after I showed her the water it was all over.
She just kept crawling down the hill to the water. She would have drowned herself in it if I would have let her- just walked straight into the waves.
Here she is on a mission to get to it.
I ended up having to strip her down even though the weather was a cool 70's and the water was freezing. She kept screaming unless she was sitting in the water and waves. It was a mess. She somehow rolled through some tar that got all over everything. She was literally sitting in the ocean water. The only problem was that each wave is different so I had to be careful about how deep it would get. She would just giggle as the wave receeded. She absolutely loved it. We got some great video but it's so long I couldn't put it on here. Here she is- naked and a mess...
After that I let her play in the dry sand to try and get some of the caked on stuff off.
Thought you might enjoy a pick of the little guy at 20 weeks. Sorry it's not too close. I'm holding steady at 10 lbs of weight so far!! WOOHOO for me!
The next day we went to Universal... I'll show you the cute pics and then tell you the bad story. Isn't this a funny pic?! She thinks it's hilarious to wear my sunglasses.
She fell asleep on the tour- it was very sweet.
So the morning we went to Universal I woke up feeling nasty so I ate some bacon and a bagel and thought that would fix things up. Well I was trying not to whine about it too much but I felt like CRAP the entire time. The entire time I was dry heaving but just thought- well, I'm just over tired or something... So after I hadn't really done anything all day, I decided I should at least go to this show thing with B, so we did. After the last part I had to RUN out of there puking and barely made it to the trash can. Great...So we left after that. When we finally got to Marian's I couldn't even make it inside before puking in the grass. I went straight to bed and didn't really move until the next morning. I got up- we had to leave at 5:30 am and puked while I was packing. Then again at the airport and finally started to feel slightly better. I could then keep sips of water and saltines down. Thank God or it would have been a hellish flight! So M slept the entire flight (thanks to Benadryl) and we made it home safely. I stayed home from work Tuesday and still am not up to par. I went today, but my stomach is reacting pretty strangely to food still- lots of churning and cramping action. I knew you wanted to know that. So anyhow- that's the poor note our trip ended on, but it was a lot of fun. I can't wait to take M to the beach again!
