Wax Museum in California

We went to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum.  It was very realistic and just SO much fun.  You're allowed to touch them, just not their hair or face.  Marc and Steph had never been their either and they loved it as well! It's normally like $25, but there was a Student discount and a resident discount none of us paid much more than 10 bucks which was excellent! I took a few "self" pictures with the figures (where you hold the camera or phone arms length out and take a picture with someone) and I realized at the end of the day, some of them look SO real!  It's crazy!  The lighting on some of the pictures are not the best, but they looked awesome in real life.

Love this one! Haha, it's so good!

Well, those are just a few of the great fun that we had!  There were loads more figures, but those were some of my favorites.  The rest of our trip I didn't take many pictures.  Friday & Monday consisted of making the 10 hour drive each way.  Saturday is when we did all of the Hollywood stuff.  That night we went to a really awesome and delicious bakery called Porto's--it was awesome!  Sunday consisted of church and hanging out.    Other than that we played a lot of games and enjoyed each other's company. Thanks for a fun time Steph and Marc and for letting us stay there! 

Walk of Fame/Chinese Theater in CA

Over President's Day Weekend, we (Jimmie, Geoff, and I) had the opportunity to visit Steph & Marc in Burbank, California.  It was SO much fun! We took a million and ten pictures so it's hard to narrow them down. Sorry there are so many! ...Hah, wait.  No I'm not.  I love pictures and I loved the trip.  Enjoy :)



We went to the Hollywood sign!
(where it was super sunny so these are kinda funny looking, haha oh well!)



We did the Hollywood Walk of Fame...here are SOME of the stars we took pictures of :)
These are my absolute favorites:

 The KING
 Love 'em
 Let's Groove Baby.  
 Don't know who this is?  He's done a lot but in one word : NCIS Writer = WIN
 Beautiful- She will be missed.
 Classic.

 Needed a picture with this one: Tom Hanks is one of my favorites
 But not as favorite as DENNIS QUAID. 
Tom Hanks, Dennis Quaid, Steve Martin= Top 3 Favorite Movie Actors 
 Also a winner!
 LOVE her.
Not even words for his incredible-ness.  Still miss him!
 If you don't know what Alan Menken did--look it up.  
Chances are, you're VERY familiar with much of his unbelievable work :)
 REGIS!!! 
Oh Phil.  Love you.

We also went to the Chinese Theater which is where the footprints
