Video Sunday: Marching Band in LegoLand

I haven’t posted a video in a while since the 1st one I posted so here is a fun one from our travels.

We may not have kids but I am a big kid at heart and am a huge LEGO fan (or AFOLs – Adult Fans of LEGOs – as we call ourselves). I had always wanted to visit LegoLand and we had the opportunity to finally go to their California park (an hour outside of San Diego) in the fall of 2001. This is a short video of the “marching band” made entirely of LEGOs in front of a LEGO White House that can be found in Miniland USA.

I’m back…

I made it back home late last night and I’m tired! I got to LAX less than 30 minutes before my flight left so even though I made it on the plane, my luggage did not. LOL. So, I had to watch everyone else’s luggage go down the chute and then go and make my claim. No big deal though. I try not to travel with any anything critical in my luggage so I finally just headed home around 11 PM. I asked Continental to go ahead and deliver it to the house since Kenny is there and the bag must have arrived last night on the next flight because they already called before I left for work to tell me it was out for delivery.

So, I have updates and a few photos but I don’t have time right now to post much more so check back in a day or two! Till then…

Sunny Hollywood

Well – greetings from West Hollywood! I meant to post yesterday before I left but I was swamped at work trying to get things done before I got out the door. I headed straight to the airport after work and arrived in LAX by 8 PM.

My friend Rachel picked me up and we headed to her apartment in the heart of West Hollywood. I met her mother and brother who are also staying here for a little while. On the way to the apartment Rachel drove me through the more famous streets of the area and told me some ideas of what we can see and do. She has some great plans and I look forward to checking out some of the hot spots! I’ll keep you posted if I see any stars!

Tonight she got us passes to the Green Room at the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. Beck will be performing and we also have passes to see them afterward. She explained that the Green Room is where the guests and their entourage hang out before they go on. They serve free drinks and it’s like a private party. You then watch the show being taped from there so although we won’t be in the audience this will probably be more fun. How cool is that? I checked the listing (tonight’s taping airs tomorrow night I think) and it seems that the guests are Joe Rogan and Jillian Barberie.

And for EJ –> I finally had my first In-N-Out Burger! I had the double for dinner last night. It was indeed very yummy!

OK – that’s it for now… I’ll keep you posted and I’ll always be sure to have my camera with me. This afternoon I think I’ll go wander Hollywood Ave. until Rachel gets back from work in a couple of hours.

Hollywood, here I come!

Woo-hoo! I’ve booked myself a birthday trip to California! More specifically I’m heading to the LA area to visit a friend who lives in the heart of Hollywood (her apartment is between Hollywood Blvd. and W. Sunset Blvd, a block from each). I’ve never been out here and really am looking forward to the break from work. Since Kenny is still new to his job and doesn’t want to be taking time off so soon, I’ll be going alone and making it a girl’s weekend. My friend, Rachel, is an aspiring actress so she will be a great guide. She already listed some things we can plan on doing… Yay! I can’t wait!
