Brady had a conference in Long Beach this week, so Ellie and I decided to tag along for the ride. So far we have been having a great time and still have a few days of fun left. After a long drive we got to our hotel late Tuesday night. Apparently, Ellie is a party animal here and doesn't like to go to bed much earlier than 10 o'clock, normal bedtime 8! Here is a recap of our first few days.
Wednesday we went out to eat at cute little restaurant on the pier, Ellie loved eating outside. After we dropped off Brady we took a little drive and then went back to hang out at the hotel. Ellie loves the king size bed and crawls all over it playing with her toys. We then took a walk along the shore next to hotel. It was a little chilly, but we saw a few boats and birds. After we picked up Dad for the day we came home for a little nap and then headed out for dinner. We ended up driving for awhile looking for a great fish market. We finally found it and enjoyed a fresh fish dinner. On our way home the bridge 2 miles from our hotel was closed and the detour turned out to be a 15 mile detour!! Finally back at our hotel we settled down for a long and disappointing JAZZ game.
Thursday after Brady finished the conference we decided to drive up to Hollywood and Beverly Hills to see some of our favorite things from T.V.- This included Sprinkles the cup cake shop- we ate them at a park in Beverly Hills where we were out numbered greatly by rich 3 year olds and spanish nannies, the cup cakes were delicious, Rob & Big's House, and the highlight of them all, Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridges house from the Hills, and to our surprise as we were driving by there house Audrina pulled up in her white Mercedes. After Brady snapped a quick picture (see close up of White Mercedes) he hurried and rounded the block and we saw here get out of her car with a bunch of shopping bags and walk inside there gated home. Yah- we felt like stalkers, but it was fun! We had to plan our stops around Ellie's napping schedule to keep her somewhat normal and lucky for us, she did great in the backseat tagging along.
Stay turned for more recap from our exciting trip!!
