My First "Business" Trip

Last week Troy asked me to go with him on his business trip to LA. Thanks to the kindness of my mom and dad and my sister Kara for agreeing to watch my kids and get them to school etc. I was able to go. It was so fun!!! During the day Troy went into the the clients office and I stayed back at the hotel and literally sat around all day. It was BLISS!! No one yelling at me or at anyone else around me. No one saying "mom"150 times in under a min. Ahhh I cannot say enough about how relaxing it was. When Troy got back the first day we walked around LA and saw

The Capitol Records Building

The Walk of Fame

Grauman's Chinese Theater

The Hand and Footprints of the "Stars" (this is Humphrey Bogart's)

And we had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory with my cousin Corbin who is in film school at USC. We got to see his finished film and I was really impressed. He made a great movie!!!

On Tuesday night we went to the Los Angeles Temple. Which oddly enough was the only day that they didn't hold a protest outside. It was really neat to do a session there. And I was amazed at how close to down town LA it is. All in all a very peacefull night.

On Wednesday night we went to Universal City. Which is just a nice way to say here is a place that we can charge you a lot of money. Seriously people. It cost us $12 just to PARK!!!
Any way we walked around the "mallish" area,
then ate dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe (a must so that I can get a shot glass)

Where Troy saw the drum set that Tommy Lee played with Motley Crue

And best of all Rick Allen from Def Leppard's Leather jacket. He was in heaven

We really had a great time and I am so grateful to everyone who made it possible for me to be able to go. Thanks Honey for inviting me. I can't wait to do it again!!
