Moving On

Last week we had one last dinner with our friends the Hickman's.  They are one of the first couples we met in LA and have been friends with them ever since.  They have a baby girl, Madison who was born a few months before Alex and they love eating out like we do.   They are moving to Sacramento in a couple weeks and we are going to miss having them so close.

In our 3 years of marriage we have met a lot of great people since we lived in Vegas and LA.  I feel like when you don't live in Utah everyone is always moving around.  Every couple we were friends with in Vegas doesn't live there anymore and a lot of people we are friends with in LA have moved or will be moving to a different city or state.  It's kind of bittersweet, but we wish them all the best and hope they keep in touch.   We had dinner at Samba Brazilian Steakhouse at Universal City Walk.  Al loves Brazilian Steakhouses.  I on the other hand don't feel like I can ever eat enough and no one ever has grilled pineapple anymore.  Is that another Utah thing only at Rodizio Grill?

Alex was getting a little restless so we turned on Baby Einstein for him to watch.  Look at his perfect posture.

I made a surprise birthday request for Aaron's Birthday in August, haha.

After dinner we walked around  Citywalk since we paid $10 to park.  Alex found his dad a trophy.

We put him on stage

We let him try on Forest Gumps shoes.

divulge in some Chocolate Syrup or so he thought.

It was a fun night and we will miss you guys!!  Come back and visit soon.

Universal Studios

Last weekend some of Al's family stayed with us before our cruise and we decided to go to Universal Studios. The day got better with us becoming annual pass holders and now we can go ANYTIME we want:)
Yay for Shrek

Al 4 and 5 with Doc from Back To The Future. It was kind of creepy how much that guy really looked like Doc.

The Water World show which was pretty impressive.

KRUSTYLAND
The best picture ever with the random Asian couple. I love Al's face....hahah
A beautiful view of San Fernando valley where we reside.
The studio tour
The Delorean from Back To The Future
A movie set for one of the Fast & Furious movies.A set for a rainstorm and flood. If you are really bored watch the video, it's pretty cool.

A water tank that has been used in several movies, none of which I remember. However I do remember they said it was used for the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer swims in the ocean.
This mini set was used for King Kong which comes out this summer.
JAWS

Wisteria Lane in Desperate Housewives
From the movie Psycho. That creepy guy chases after the train with a knife.
A huge airplane crash......I forgot the movie, lol.
This next picture is funny because those people sitting behind Al's dad aren't supposed to be there. It's supposed to be a photo opp, but people have to sit their lazy butts there and ruin it for everyone else.
FRANKENSTEIN
Fred and Wilma. While taking the picture I quickly realized that my head would look better on Fred and Al's would look better on Wilma
So we switched

The best ride at Universal Studios.....Jurassic Park

After the best ride ever. Lexi and I were a little suprised because we didn't expect to get so wet.

One last picture before we ended the day. If you come to LA and want to go to Universal Studios you should totally call us!!
