Very Cool Trip!

Just before I start with the "real trip" pictures, I have finally figured out how to get my husband to smile in pictures.....put a bra on his head. Who knew?

We finally took our L.A. trip to the American Girl world. We were supposed to do it for Lu's 8th birthday in Feb but there were extenuating circumstances...hee hee....understatement. We left Sunday morning and returned Tuesday afternoon. Here are the pix, they are totally out of order because I always forget to do them backwards and now I'm too lazy to fix it.

Lu and her new doll, Kirsten in matching pajamas.

Lu and mom in the hotel.

Us at the American Girl store.

Lu in front of the Kit movie sign.

Tickle monster!

The American Girl cafe. Very pretty and very um...pink!

The dolls get their own seats and little tea cups and saucers. They even gave Scruffy one too.

Pretty Miss Lu with dessert: a star cookie, piece of really yummy cake and choco mousse! They let you take home the flower in the dessert and the bows (in her hair) that are napkin holders.

Kit and Lucy ready for the Kit movie premiere. We got to see it a couple of days early!

That's the face a person makes when the flash goes off in their eyes in a dim theater.

In the theater, we got free shirts and posters. (I say free but I'm pretty sure we paid for them:)

This is right after Lu got Kirsten. Awww, the love between a girl and her doll....

Errr....dolls. Because of them, Lu will not be attending college:)
