Last week Al's Dad was in town and got to spend the day with him. We went to the Promenade in Santa Monica to have lunch and go shopping. Getting Al to go shopping is rare so I'm glad his Dad likes it. We made the mistake of walking in the food court where there is a playground. Alex almost jumped out of the stroller so that's where we ate lunch. I just realized how crazy Cole's brow line looks in this picture.
Alex warming up to the idea of sitting on his Grandpas lap. After all they do have the same name.
The promenade was amazing that day, no crowds and great sales. I could have stayed all day.
Every time Al's Dad has been in town we've talked about taking him to Forest Lawn Cemetery where Michael Jackson is buried. We heard he was buried below a stained glass window so we went to the Mausoleum where they have a video about the Last Supper stained glass window.
Turns out Michael Jackson isn't buried in this one, but Elizabeth Taylor is and this is her headstone.
Pretty amazing.
We got the scoop where MJ was buried and heard there are fans there everyday standing guard. Sure enough there was a lady sitting there eyeing us. Who just hangs out at a cemetary everyday? Al stayed in the car while we went to pay our respects.
Forest Lawn is unreal, it's huge.
This is the building MJ is buried in. You can't go in, but you can look through the window and barely see a long hallway with a stained glass window at the end and a white marble casket below it.
Flowers from his fans.
Our last stop was Walt Disney's grave. Alex was done at this point and plus it was freezing. On our way out I told Al to drive by MJs one last time to see if that lady was still there and sure enough she was, random. Hopefully no one reading this thinks we are weirdos hanging out at a cemetery, haha.
Thanks for coming to visit Al. Next time let's go to Disneyland!!
