Summary of my quick vacation to CA!!
We arrived on Thursday and had fun making our way around Glendora area visting family and friends and eating our way thru town
(of course In-n-Out was lunch) . All we kept hearing about all day was the "STORM". So we adjusted our plans a little and went to Downtown Disney that night to do some shopping and watch the Fireworks from the Plaza.
Friday was supposed to be Disney, but because of the threat of "weather" we decided to make other plans so we got up and ran some errands for Mom then met Janna, Claire, Jason and his mom Patti at Goofy's Kitchen at the Disney Hotel. It was soooo much fun. Claire loved the Mad Hatter
and Alice... she didn't know what to think of Baloo. The food was great we will definately have to do it again.
Friday night we got ready and headed into Hollywood to go see WICKED, just in time for the rain to start and traffic. After a fun LA commute we got to the theater in time to get into the ticket lottery, which we didn't get, but they opened discount tickets, so we got our tickets!! WooHoo!!...
now the fun begins. We had lots of time to kill and a little hungry. So thanks to Donna's suggestion we went to find some food... in the pouring rain - flooded streets of Hollywood Blvd. So needless to say by the time we got to the restuarant drip dried - then made it back to the theater we were drownded (we later heard that Hollywood got the brunt of the storm). But we made it back to the theater in plently of time to relax and dry a little before the show - WICKED - LOVED IT!!!!! Trying to figure out how I can get back to see it again before it leaves LA because it won't be coming to SLC until 2009 (not nice). Everyone should see it - Highly recommended. Thanks again to Donna for all her insider help and love of the show too... thanks for the CD. 
Saturday was out to visit the Family in the Wildomar, it was fun to spend some time with all those that were in town. Fun to see everyone that came out, and all the growth that's going on out there, not going to be able to recognize it pretty soon.
Sunday we got to go the our old home ward in Glendora, then visited some more people on our way to the airport, where we forgot that we would be on the same flight with all the returning college students - note to self - double check calendar.
After a very long trip home to my own bed... vacation was over and back to reality (yuck). But it was nice while it lasted, so you won't hear a complaint out of me... Now I just need to see who's free this weekend for a quick road trip to go see Wicked...hehe.... I'm serious!
