Wow, I can't believe I'm back in NY. It has been such a long week.
I will get a full account up later, but for now I'm just gonna give random details and highlights:
I put my hands in Marylin Monroe's at the Chinese TheatreI toured NBC studios
~we saw the sets for Days of Our Lives and the Jay Leno set
~we saw Jay's car that he took to work that day and there was a man taking photos of it, hen 2 days later the picture of Jay and that car was on the front page of USA Today.
I toured Sony studios
~saw the sets of Wheel of Fortune, Jepordy, and the upcoming film: Angels and Demons, which was supposed to be off limits, but we got to see it.
I went to Universal Studios Theme Park
~chaperoned a group of 14 and under students through the park
~it was so sad, I kept comparing Universal to Disney and it was awful. Most of the park felt out of date to me. It didn't have strong themes or an overall cohesiveness.
I saw the El Capitan Theatre
~It was across the streeet from our hotel. It was soooooooo cool and beautifull, and huge! We got to walk through it for our tour, but I didn't get to see a movie there :( Oh well, maybe next time
I ate ice cream at the Disney Soda Shop
~I did however get to eat at the soda shop right next door. I had Mickey waffles for breakfast on our last day after the kids had left. I also had a WALL-e sunday right before we left for the airport. It was soo yummy and cool. I couldn't believe it. I felt like I was at disney. I even made a pin trade!
I almost made it to the beach
~Long story, but it took too long, we got awful directions, and we had to come back so that we wouldn't miss our flight.

Looks like you had a blast. And where was Peter when you were having waffles and ice cream???
You bad girl, you.
He wasn't there for the waffles but he was there for the ice cream. He even had some. lol
Oh my that looks like such a fun trip. That ice cream looked so cool!!
I understand about comparing Universal to Disney. Paul and I do that in every amusment park we go to now.
I know! I was so excited when I saw the special ice cream. It was so yummy! Although, it wasn't the best idea to load up on sugar right before a flight.
Chelsea, it seems like at the end of a trip you should come home! Instead, you just went straight back to another trip. :(
Sorry to be a downer, but I really miss you. I hope you are well.
Be sure to write in your journal...blogging is great for us, but your journal will become a real treasure that a blog can never become.
I love you, little Spud.
Mom
WOW CHELSEA - YOU LUCKY BUM! WE JUST SAW WALL-E TOO - IT WAS AWESOME - THE ICE CREAM IS WAY TOO COOL! WE ALL MISS YOU TERRIBLY! SURE LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE "WORKING" HARD THERE *cough *cough!
CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT EVERYTHING! OH, AND WHAT DID YA GET TO SEE OF THE SET OF ANGELS AND DEMONS - THAT IS SUCH AN AWESOME BOOK - EVEN BETTER THAN DA VINCI CODE! HOW AWESOME FOR YOU GUYS!
MISS YA AND PRAYING FOR YOU!
As far as the set goes, I'm not exactly sure what we saw. I know they were doing dailys in the foley room so we couldn't go in there. The set was in seperate pieces, but it might have been part of the vatican, not sure.
Chelsea, when you get back. I'll make you Mickey waffles. I made them for my grandkids earlier this month. And of course ate some myself!
OOh, I would love it if you made me Mickey waffles. I could eat one now actually. :)
