Oh, L.A.
Yvonne and I took a trip up to L.A. on Sunday to say goodbye to Sabrina and Sydney, who are leaving us for Indiana in a couple weeks. It was very nice to see them and we are sad that they are leaving. We got there late Sunday night and Sydney got to stay up late to greet us. She came to the door in her plastic high heel Barbie shoes and her silky white gloves. What a princess.
On Monday, Sabrina agreed to call her out of school so we could take her on a trip to the California Science Center. We arrived around 12:00 noon and spent twenty minutes looking around one of the exhibits when all of the sudden, the lights went out. Oh, so that's what one of those "blackouts" looks like. We were told that the power may come back in five minutes or five hours. We decided to stick it out for a bit since there was no where else to go because all of the museums in the area were affected. Syd spent some of the waiting time lifting a 5,000 pound truck that was suspended by a lever. She got a kick out of believing she was that strong. She spent the remaining time recruiting other kids to play duck duck goose and tag. What a trooper. The power came back on after an hour so we headed back in and explored the rest of the museum.
We were planning on leaving Monday night but decided we were too tired to drive so we stayed another night. On Tuesday we hung out at Sabrina's coffee shop a bit. While there, a guy came in and sat at the counter near us. Yvonne kept saying that he was famous, that he had been on some show. I couldn't place him. After he left, Sabrina told us who he was: Jason Mardsden. You know, one of the guys from "Step by Step". So, that was our celebrity sighting. But I have to say, it didn't really beat seeing David Crosby the last time we were there...
It was a good time and we are really going to miss those girls. I hope Indiana is good to them...
