After a long wait, we were finally able to cash in on the kickstarter package we contributed to sometime last year for Reading Rainbow. We planned a nice trip up to Los Angeles to attend the Live event and to also go and have a little bit of Hollywood. It was a fun time, but we definitely were glad to be home at the end. Ate at a nice little local diner for breakfast on both days, (Dinah's Diner has huge waffles, good lord) and regretted a decision to eat at a french crepe bistro that was in a mall, haha. We also took a tour of the Le Brea tar pits, and Hollywood Blvd. It was a nice check off of the bucket list, but skeezy enough to not want to really do again. We did find the walk of fame Stars that were important to us though, and got to see the China Theater handprints. Oh and a live show from Battle of the Bands School of Rock at the House of Blues, can't complain! Now we are back home and getting ready for next weekend, when we go to the local Viking Festival! I have my mead horn at the ready!

Huge Mastodon. However, the best part was learning that Camels originated in North America, how crazy is that?
It was HOT waiting for the Reading Rainbow event.
The Men and Women of Star Trek read two children's books for us!
