Los Angeles

Like I mentioned, we spent the first week of January in downtown Los Angeles. J had a trial conference that he attended during the day while the girls and I went to D-land and explored around town. The free hotel for a week and a short drive to CA were too hard to pass up.

Beach biking with my lovely lifetime friend Lyn and her son


Nighttime view from our room
One of their favorites: visiting the American Girl store mecca.
Eating awesome authentic Mexican food
First subway ride! Just like Grandma and Grandpa on their mission.
They loved our hotel room
Visited Griffith observatory. Amazing! Free museum with exhibits, planets and star shows galore.
Me and my little ladies at Huntington Gardens in San Marino
Lyn and her husband were so good to feed us, take us to the beach, and visit the gardens with us. Loved seeing them again.
Dogpile on Daddy
Spent 2 hours at the LA temple visitors center and grounds. Very special place.

Thanks for the pictures, Jord. They give a really good feel for what you did on your vacation, and for how much fun you had. I am always impressed with you for seeing that your girls also get interesting educational opportunities along with their fun activities. It was fun to see Lynn and her kids.

Fun pictures. I loved the coats at the beach and the dog pile. It looks like you and the girls had a great week while Jake was hard at work.

What a fun trip! I am totally jealous of your American Girl adventure. My girls are in love with the dolls they got and would die to know that such a store existed. Did your girls love it?

How awesome you guys were able to go with Jacob and enjoy so many fun things! It looks like you guys had an awesome time.
