We had a fun Memorial Day Weekend... we decided to be TOURISTS in our own city!
Friday night we went with Adam and Kennan Tullis to Griffith Observatory. We saw a show in the planetarium, enjoyed the STUNNING night skyline with a beautiful FULL moon (pictures don't do it justice), and walked around the observatory. Unfortunately we barely missed the times to look through the HUGE telescope...next time.

We then headed down to "Hollywood" to see the stars and footprints, Grauman's Chinese Theater, and the other things down there. Since it was pretty late there were not the usual "performers" down there but we had fun anyway.
Saturday we headed back to LA again with the Tullis' to the Fashion District. Now the name makes it sound a bit more glamorous than it really is. Basically its like an area of glorified NY street vendors, San Fran's ChinaTown, or Little Mexico.
There were tons of knock off purses and sunglasses, lots of cheap clothes and more. Chris and I got some sunglasses, Kennan got a new purse and shoes for her B-day, and at the end Adam did some masterful bargaining for a guitar.
(I don't know if you can tell but I thought it was soo funny... all the pant mannequins had EXAGGERATED butts! I guess it was more appropriate for most of the clientele).Then on Monday we just got a lot of stuff down and ran errands. Then we met up with some of the family to celebrate Brady's birthday. Below is part of the gift I made for Brady. I painted this t-shirt for him since he is in LOVE with CARS the movie- especially Lightning McQueen, who he calls "Ka-Chow!"

Wow, that photo of the skyline is awesome! What a fun night.
The mannequin butts are hilarious.
That Lightning McQueen shirt is too cute! Way to turn a commercialized kids theme into something way cute/Andy-Warholish that the kid will still love. :)
Love this! Thanks again for helping to make my Birthday weekend so much fun! The bootylicious mannequins are my fav! haha

There's a store in our mall with mannequins like that, I get the big booty part :), but we laugh at the mannequin only having a booty, where is the body???? Can't wait to see ya!
