On the morning before heading home, we had breakfast at HomeState with Crystal & Chris and Veronica and her family.
The little boy is Veronica’s brother, Lex.
I talked to Veronica’s daddy, Kenny, about airplanes and Route 110.
I also took pictures of Daddy, Mommy, and Veronica.
Then Veronica and I climbed the fence that kept us from Figueroa Street.
Goodbye for now, LA. I had fun!
My friends, Crystal and Chris, are visiting here from Los Angeles. For our first day, we headed to the Columbia River Gorge to see Multnomah Falls. But due to last summer’s forest fire, the amazing pedestrian bridge was closed.
So we headed over to another area called Bridal Veil, which I went to with Grandma and Grandpa a couple of years ago. This time, I was a major fan of bridges.
The Overlook Loop trail had nice views of the Columbia River, but I made sure everyone also saw I-84.
Then we went to McMenamins Edgefield for lunch at a converted fire house.
I went to Burbank again to play at an indoor playground called Rockin’ Kids. Veronica, Chris, and Crystal came, too!
Veronica and I said “hi” to each other, then never spoke or acknowledged each other’s existence again. Chris tried to play football with me. And Crystal helped me stomp virtual bubbles on the floor. And, of course, I played with cars!
For Labor Day, we went to visit Chris and Mariko at their apartment in Torrance. I got to touch one of their motorcycles and chase around their cat, Winston. I loved Winston, but for some reason, he got tired of playing and decided to hide under the bed until after I left.
By the way, thanks for the new shirts, Nana!
Last night, I went to my friends Crystal and Chris’ wedding! Okay, well…I hung out pretty close to the wedding outside under the Brooklyn Bridge. Music and camera flashes make me upset, so I let Mom and Dad know very clearly that I wanted to stay OUTSIDE.
But it was fun playing with my new yellow taxi and New York City stickers. Thanks, Crystal and Chris!
Sometimes mom takes pictures with her iPhone and posts them to Instagram. Since some of my loyal followers don’t use Instagram, I figured I’d post a few here from our east coast trip:
Playing with Michelle’s hands at Brooklyn Bridge Park / Asleep after an afternoon of park play
Asleep on Uncle Mike’s childhood bed / Sitting by the deck in Rockland
The beach at Eastman Lake / Hiding behind the curtains in my bedroom in New Hampshire
Dad and mom kayaking while I took a nap
Coloring on the airplane / In the airport in LA after a long journey
No sleep till Brooklyn! Literally. After a restless night, I spent the day at Brooklyn Bridge Park with mom and dad’s friends, Crystal, Chris, and Michelle. And after all the fun I had with them, I totally fell asleep in my stroller. Mom can’t even remember the last time that happened!
Chris and Mariko visited me!
