A Visit from the Reeds

Last week Carol, Shane, Brandon & Christi came to California and we got to spend the day with them!! It was so fun. We met up at our little apartment (pictures to come) and then walked across the street to the Grove for lunch. Everyone got their meals (can we say amazing Charlie's french toast? Mmmmmm Hmmmmm) and we ate in the little farmers market, and then we got to experience the American Girls store (cleanest men's bathrooms in Los Angeles...) and Pinkberry before venturing up to Hollywood Boulevard to see the stars. We even met the look-alike elvis, who scammed us (grrr)! For those who haven't been, hollywood boulevard has about a bajillion people who come and dress up as movie characters (i.e., Cat Woman, the Joker, the Joker, the Joker (there were a lot of jokers...), and a little um, 98 year old mickey mouse).

We ventured around and saw all the cool stars and foot/hand prints (i'm so jealous of how tiny all the ladie's feet were!). We then headed down through beverly hills to see Hermes (I pronounced it Her-MEEEEs, because i'm ridiculous) and the rest of Rodeo drive (I also say RO-dE-O instead of ro-deh-o) and then we took the Reeds on a wild goose chase down to the local strip mall in Marina Del Rey for what we thought was our replacement "2 Amys" pizza. Haha, we didn't realize it would be in a strip mall, oops! It was a fun atmosphere, though, and we had fun talking to the fam for the rest of the evening!

Thanks for coming up, Reeds!!!! We were so glad we got to see you!
