The day began at the Santa Monica beach.
Note how happy my daddy looks. Mom and I suspect that he wants to move to California.
Really.
So then we went to IHOP (to get a taste of the local flavor).
Mom put ketchup on her pancakes. She's convinced she's losing her mind.
We drove around for a while and visited USC.
I'm charming.
On the way back, we saw the Hollywood Sign. It was pretty far away.
So, blah blah blah, we get ready for the big Longhorn bash. On the way there we saw the big Mormon temple and a really cute billboard!
It's a hamster in a high heel.
Here's the party.
Outside, getting coffee.
For a while, the party was REALLY boring. There were thousands of people there, but the music was terrible country crap and the food was like, $6 for a hotdog or $8 for a rib sandwich.
So here we are being bored:
I'm smiling big to counter my bored-ness.
We saw Donnie Little, former UT football player who also happened to be in my mom's Physical Science class when they were at UT together. Also, he's our cousin....not.
We also ran into my pediatrician.
The party picked up once the cheerleaders got there.
Yeah, up-the-skirt shot!
The fam.
Best part of the night--Random appearance by
BILL ENGVALL!!!
When he got up on stage, Grayson and I flipped out and started yelling, "Here's your sign! Here's your sign!"
YAY!!!!! It made the whole night worth it.
Also, can anybody tell me what's weird about this picture:
I wasn't the only woman taking pictures of this. My title is, "Hell has Frozen Over."
Sorry for lack of insightful commentary. More tomorrow.
To be continued.
