Well since this blog is serving as a record of happenings, I need to write about the trip Brent and I took last week to Long Beach, CA. We had a great time. Brent went officially for business (he receieved his recognition for passing his boards ((yahoo!)) and attended a conference) but we certainly got in some fun too!
Can you believe the first night we ended up at Hooters at nearly midnight.. our flight in was late and we were starving. That restaurant was first for me.. and had it not been for the fact it was the only thing open dont think we would have ever ended up there.. we got our order to go and even after the 10 minute walk back to the hotel the food still tasted so so good.. (I am always a big believer in eating food right when it is hot and ready, unlike Brent who will remember 4 things he needs to do and 2 calls he needs to make right as his hot plate is placed in front of him)

who knew it could be half way true when people say they really go there for the good food..

The next night we (well at least I) experienced a dream come true. We went and saw the musical "Wicked." We both loved it. It was held at the Pantera (sp) in L.A. and it was a beautiful theater. We loved, loved, loved the story and how it had so many insights into the Wizard of Oz... also some great potential of life analogies and the bigger picture.. 5 stars for sure~

The next night we went to the USC- Oregon game.. that was alot of fun and Brent remembered who he really was after a day or two of shopping and spending the night before at the theater.. :)

And the last evening we went to the LA temple.. Of course it is huge compared to what we are accustomed to, and really quite unique in many ways.
All and all a great great getaway.
A big thanks to Lani and Charlie for staying with the kids. Of course they loved every minute with them.
