L.A. Bound

We decided to head up early for the Clippers game to spend some time in L.A. We went back to Hollywood Blvd. for some more time looking at celebrity stars, Grauman's Chinese Theater, and the Kodak Theater shopping center.

 

The tree in the middle of the Kodak Theater center was beautiful!

I had found some great discount coupons for Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum, so we spent an hour or so touring the many celebrity wax figures! At first the kids thought it was kind of weird, but then everyone got into taking pictures with them. Some of them really are incredible!
Cooper loved Daniel Craig (aka James Bond!)...
 

Joe had fun posing with Obama...
 I couldn't resist a picture with Robert Pattinson (aka Edward!)...
Coop wished this was really Kobe!
 Interviewing with Ryan Seacrest...
 and you just can't leave without a photo with Michael Jackson!
It was fun, and something a little different to do with the kids. We found a delicious bakery too, and left with a High Hat cupcake that was absolutely delicious!
Next up, we headed to The Grove. It was packed, freezing, and it looked like a storm was coming in.
Although it was cold, and we had to battle the crowds, it was absolutely beautiful, and we had a great time shopping and wandering through the old farmers market.




The sun was setting over L.A. as we left to head to the Staples Center...
 Our seats for this game were so much better than the last time we were here! We were in the Premier section with padded seats and waiter service!

 The Clippers were facing off against the Utah Jazz...
 The game was very exciting, and the Clippers are the best team in the league right now!

 Cooper's favorites are Chris Paul, and Blake Griffin.

 We had a ton of fun cheering on the Clippers to their 17th win in a row!
I'm so sad it was over so quickly, but we enjoyed our fun family day, and Cooper was thankful for this gift!
