Friday & Saturday...End of our Vacation

Isn't it funny how time flies when you're having fun?  These past eight days in LA have flown!  So much fun.

Friday was kind of a "free" day because we didn't have anything specific planned.  I had a nice, leisurely run in 58 degree temps to start the day.  I really am going to miss these cooler temps.  Then, I wanted to do a little shopping, sans my male companions, so they dropped me off and gave me a couple of hours by myself.  SO NICE!  Boys just don't understand the need to have some quiet time while browsing.

Cole's only request this trip was to visit the Lamborghini dealership so we headed to West Hollywood Friday afternoon.  He was in Hog Heaven...


The sales lady, Miss Ida, knew she wasn't going to be making a sale with the Ewing's but she was still super sweet.  She even let Cole sit in one on the sales room floor.  List price....only $210,000.  What a deal!!!!


The boy had stars in his eyes all day!

Universal Studios is two blocks from our hotel and they have an IMAX theater that is eight stories (that's 80 feet) tall.  Crazy.  The boys decided they wanted to see the new Transformers movie and Brad and I decided NOT to see it!  We enjoyed a very good mexican dinner and then lots of walking, sight seeing and exploring while the boys enjoyed the three hour movie.


By the time we got home at 10:30, we literally fell into bed and slept until 9:00 a.m. this morning!

Today we took the Star Lite bus tour of Hollywood and Santa Monica.  It's a really cool double decker, open air bus that encompasses approximately 50 miles of touring.  We had so much fun.


Thank goodness for sunscreen.

We got off the bus at the Santa Monica Pier and toured the acquarium.




Because of the traffic, we missed the last shuttle back to our car so we had to take the subway.  I looked so scary that even the most suspicious people in the subway steered clear of us!

So, we're packing and cleaning and getting ready for our flight tomorrow.  It was such a fun trip.  We'll get home Sunday evening and then I will be heading back to Florida TUESDAY morning!  We rented the house and I need to make a quick trip down to get things ready.  Yeah for renters!!!!!
