Happy President's Day!

This weekend Andrew's parents and little sister came in town to visit. We are always excited to have people come to visit because it gives us an excuse to do lots of fun things.

We went to brunch at this really great place in Manhattan Beach, The Kettle. Their blueberry muffins were ridiculously good!

We also went out to the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. There was an Arts and Crafts display that Annette wanted to see. It was really cool. (no pictures though.) Just outside the museum was the La Brea Tar pits. So we quickly walked around. It was pretty interesting. This is looking into one of the excavation pits.
More tar pits.

We also hung out with this big bear.
We also went to the California Science Museum. I have been there before, but it is a really cool museum. There is a lot of stuff to see and do there! Right now the special exhibition was CSI: The Experience. We got to solve a crime!
It rained all weekend long! This picture is supposed to show the flooding in the planter outside of our apartment. You can't really see it very well, but if you look at the sprinkler thing in the upper right corner you can see how high the water is.
Because of the rain and cold we stopped to get hot chocolate at Leonidas. It was delicious!
Thanks for the fun visit Jarvis family! Come again soon!

Wow, an on-time posting that's not from 2 months ago!? Is this really Diane?? :) Just kidding. Sounds like a fun Pres Day weekend.

How come I've never been to The Kettle? It sounds good!

So I never made it to the Tar Pits. Do you think I missed a ton? Did you love it?

I have heard about the La Brea Tar Pits for decades and am now pleased to say that I have seen them myself, and in very distinguished company.
