California

After church, we drove to Vegas. We stayed at Circus Circus and walked around the midway.

On Monday, we drove to California. We got to attend a taping of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The guests were Snoop Dogg, Ashlee Simpson, and two eighty year old women who are wrestlers. Snoop's microphone wouldn't work, so while they were trying to get him a new one, he did an improv rap for us. It was pretty cool. Ashlee perfromed her new single, "Pieces of Me."

On Tuesday, we went shopping at the Block at Orange, Downtown Disney, and went to Knott's berry farm to get chicken and mashed potatoes.

On Wednesday, we went on The Warner Bros. studio tour. They had a Harry Potter exhibit, and I got to try on the sorting hat, who told me "Griffindor!" We got to see the sets of Friends, ER, Gilmore Girls, and Joey. The tour guide, Johnny kept asking me what moisturizer I use. After the tour, we went back to the hotel and watched the American Idol 3 finale.

On Thursday, we went to Sea World and ate dinner at the Spaghetti Factory at Newport Beach.

On Friday, it was raining. We went shopping and ate at the Crab Cooker at Newport Beach.

On Saturday, we went to the O.C. Swapmeet and drove back to Vegas.

Today, we drove home, stopping in Mesquite for breakfast.
