WEEK 23 - LOS ANGELES - thursday 30 september - saturday 2 october 2010

on thursday we met up with tracey and steve and daniel for coffee for breakfast, and then they headed off to do the los angeles tour [which weve done last year], so i spend the day finishing up the american photo book and reading stuff online :)

in the evening we taxied over to sizzler with tracey steve and daniel and got a smorgasboard dinner with a really nice steak for $11 plus tax, yum yum. finally a value for money meal that didnt taste like arse, thanks sizzler!

we went into the supermarket to pick up some things, and were trying to find a decent baby formula, but get this - they are all full of high fructose corn syrup, sugar, some milk powder, chemicals, palm oil and coconut oil. poor kids dont stand a chance here! so disgusting, we are so lucky in new zealand!

on friday joseph and steve headed off to universal studios [photography by joseph indrisie] :)

while tracey and i opted to stay at the hotel to give daniel a quiet day [hes one year old and deliciously cute!], so we ended up spending the day talking, enjoying coffees in the hotel bar in the morning, while daniel romped around on the chairs we’d pushed together to make a playpen for him. then tracey put him down for a sleep at 2pm and we sat eating lunch and chatting quietly in her hotel room, so as not to wake daniel. we didnt need to worry. he was out like a light, slept for ages! 
we got him up and gave him a bath and dinner, 

then grabbed dinner for ourselves with the boys, who had returned from universal, worn out, and then we all went to bed early!

saturday today, home time! :) we joined tracey and steve and daniel for breakfast at 9am, and daniel sat there charming everyone in the restaurant, and eagerly attacking a banana that he was keen on demolishing :)

we all packed up our things, and steve went off to grab the rental car, while we check ed out.

a nice last few quiet days to catch up, before heading back to a very busy spring and summer in new zealand :)
