Los Angeles Temple Visitors Center

The newly remodeled visitors center is beautiful. They have different rooms that you can go in and pick what you'd like to listen to. Unfortunately we couldn't stay long cuz we had to leave before freeway traffic became a monster and had to pack for our trip home the next day.

Famous Taquitos at Historic Olvera Street

If your in LA stopping by Olvera street for taquitos is a must. The last time I was there I was on my Honeymoon. Back then I got a glass blown rose with our wedding date but this time I noticed that the vendor place burned down. I no longer have the rose because it broke when we moved.

The taquitos tasted great and we tried chocolate and carmel filled churros.

Los Angeles Auto Show

During our stay in California. I went with my friends to
the 2010 LA Auto Show in Anaheim. They had a kids fun zone. Pictured is the 2011 version my van which I love. They said that the difference is that it's longer and wider and had a new trinket thingy for when someone is in your blind spot.

The boys had their first bounce house experience. Lil B would wait in line for the obstacle course and then back out when it came his turn. Lucas wanted to try everything.

The boys were pretty good. The only drama/meltdowns happen when I told Brian to get out of the vehicle.

The boys drew on a computer screen and appeared up on the wall once they were done.

It was fun to visit with friends and see all the up and comming cars.

Trains, animals, and pony rides

G
Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell took the boys and I out to Irvine Railroad park. We stopped and had the best Mexican food that I've had in a very long time. It was the
same owners as Don Jose's. It was unbelievably good. We took a train ride and walked on over to a zoo that was on the same grounds. They had several animals, birds, and reptiles. My favorite is always the bears. Brian kept asking to go back to take the train ride again. He also felt like a real cowboy when riding the pony. The boys had the best time ever.
