HOLLYWOOD!!

The week before last we received a phone call from Michael's Aunt Diane, who lives in Michigan, saying that her, his cousin Sarah and her man Tom, are going to be in Torrance for a wedding and would love to see us (we think it was mainly to see Isabelle-hehe). So, this past Monday (August 20) it was decided that we would meet in Hollywood for lunch, since they haven't visited this part of the west coast before.

We met in front of the Mann Chinese Theater and continued being "tourons", as Michael likes to say, from there. In the 90 degree heat (and we thought it would be sooo much cooler over the hill), we checked out the Mann Chinese and all of the ghetto characters walking around trying to get you to take pictures with them (their costumes were truly awful that day and Darth Vader was no where to be found so we didn't take any), the stars on the walk of fame (can you believe Godzilla has one? Seriously!), the Kodak Theater and all of the fun souvenir stores! In the Kodak Theater mall, there was a great photo op of the Hollywood sign so, as "tourons", we had to stop too and get our own pics!

We proceed to a cafe in the Kodak Theater mall where we had an awesome lunch and great conversation getting ourselves caught up on everything since our wedding (we think we have Sarah and Tom talked in to moving out this way). Sarah brought Isabelle a bib from her Alma mater and Michael's favorite college (NOT!), the University of Michigan :) and Aunt Diane made Isabelle an adorable quilt that goes perfectly with the colors in her nursery! We thought Grandma and Grandpa O had told her what the colors were :)

It was a wonderful afternoon and we can't wait to see them again at Christmas!!
