On Friday morning we had breakfast at Toast Bakery Cafe in L.A. The food gets better and better everytime I eat there.
How is this for breakfast....fresh fruit, a portobello omelet with fresh avocado and marble rye bread. I love Toast!!
We spent the day in Hollywood with all the tourists. A view from Kodak Theater....I never knew you could see the Hollywood sign from right here.
We went to the Hollywood Wax Museum
The horror chamber was the worst. It had tons of famous actors from horror movies like Halloween, Silence of The Lambs, Frankenstein, Saw....basically anything you could think of. We were so scared we ran out of it...lol
Ben Affleck and ME
Good ol Hef
Mission Impossible
Our Next stop was the Hollywood Guiness World Of Records Museum (It was a packaged deal). The museums must be struggling because we were the only ones in there.
There was some random stuff in there. Pretty goofy.
My mom and I as midgets
The worlds biggest fruits and vegetables
Chinese Theater
There were so many performers and look alikes out on Hollywood Blvd....even Big Bird
We went and saw Alice in Wonderland 3-D at El Capitan. All the Disney premieres are here and they always have a Disney movie playing even if it's an old one.
The theater is pretty amazing inside and they decorate it for every movie. Someone plays Disney songs on an organ until the movie starts
They also have a little show before the movie starts with streamers and other fun suprises. Every movie should be like that!!
On Saturday we took her to the freak show at Venice Beach. Al and I have noticed that everytime we go there the same street performers are there in the same spot doing the same thing. This guy must get so sick of painting himself gold.
How would you like to have this on top of your car??
This was another sweet ride we saw....all murdered out
We went to the Fashion District in downtown LA after the beach to introduce my mom to bacon wrapped hot dogs and spicy fruit. She also ended up buying some sandals from this Asian place. They seriously had at least 500 different shoes. You take the shoe you want to the girl and she yells to some guy in the back and gives the description of the shoe. Then the shoe comes flying down a broken conveyor belt and she yells "Your Shoes Are Ready"!! Now that's what I call service.
Later that night we went to The Getty. My mom studied art in college so I knew she would love and appreciate it.
I haven't been to the Getty since I was 20 and I forgot how beautiful it is.
The gardens were amazing.
and so were the grapes
I thought my mom was going to have a heart attack when she saw this Edgar Degas painting.
I almost had one when I saw this Monet painting. When I studied abroad in Europe we went on a tour of his house and gardens and it was so amazing. I think I have a picture in front of this exact spot....if digital cameras existed then I would probably have 20. 
After The Getty we took my mom to Roys for her birthday. Al and I love Roys!!
I love when the waiters come around and ask you how the flavors are. Roys is all about flavors and I love it!!
Roys is also awesome with birthdays. They give you a personalized dessert and then take a group picture and frame it for you
My mom and I thought it was really cool to wear our 3-D glasses all weekend, so here she is wearing them on our way to church. Everything is cooler in 3-D
Our feet were so sore from walking everywhere we went to this Chinese foot clinic in Alhambra that only charges $15 for a 1 hour foot massage. A few people told me about it and this was the perfect opportunity to try it. I didn't really know what to expect when we got there, but as soon as my mom and I walked in we started laughing. Every single chair had someone in it and I swear it resembled a sweat shop. The massage was pretty relaxing and definatley worth $15. The best was at the end when she just walked off and I was like Uhhhh I guess she is done?? Ohhhh Asians
Afterwards we had our final spicy fruit and it was the best one I've had yet. It had cocunut, cantelope, jicama, cucumber, watermelon, mango, and orange.
Before I took my mom to the airport we met up with my Uncle David that lives in Studio City. He took us to sushi in Hollywood for my moms Birthday and Pinkberry afterwards!!
He drove us around the Hollywood Hills and Bevery Hills showing us famous peoples houses. It was better than any Star Tour which by the way I totally want to go on one. He drove us by the biggest mansion in L.A. that is decorated by Versaille and is for sale for 15o million. This is the best picture I could get from the car.

It was so great having my mom in town. I wish we could see her more, but maybe we will all live closer again someday:)
