The best weekend EVER!!!

The reason we are back in California, Los Angeles in particular is my Christmas gift.  Tickets to see George Strait – my favorite all time and the girls came to LA to join us!  It doesn’t get any better.  Amy came from working in Santa Barbara on Thursday and Stephanie flew in to LAX on Friday afternoon.  We started the weekend with a great Happy Hour dinner in Santa Monica and a walk on the pier.

Saturday was the big day but first we have to do something touristy while in LA.  We decided on a morning walk in Griffith Park where we walked about 2 miles to the top of “the sign”.

What a view!

What a view!

Even after 4 miles we are still smiling

The trail was pretty much uphill the whole two miles which meant that it would be downhill all the way back!  Downhill is fine with me, Paul doesn’t like it.  I will say my calves were sore for 2 days after but it was pretty awesome to be out walking with my family and the weather was perfect.

And then…..

No boots for me- my closet isn't big enough!!!

Los Angeles is huge and there are cars and people everywhere!  We found the Staples Center and a parking spot where we didn’t have to walk too far.  What a cool site,  Los Angeles and cowboy boots and hats everywhere!

Are we ready?  I am!

An awesome opening act.  She is beautiful and what a voice.  And then after 1 1/2 hours of amazing country music,   Mr. George Strait, The Country Music Entertainer of The Year and the most amazing country singer ever takes the stage!  No more words!

After 2 hours of the best country music and entertainment George and the band leave the stage!

Of course there is more!  They take the state for several more songs and great musical performances and then after 2.5 hours of keeping me on my feet dancing and screaming like a teenager the show is over!
