AMERICAN GIRL DOLL, LA FARMERS MARKET, MADAME TUSSAUDS

AMERICAN GIRL DOLL, FARMERS MARKET, MADAM TUSSAUDS

We were up early again today. Not that our kids understand the concept of sleeping in anyway. We enjoyed our normal breakfast cereal to start the day. It is amazing the difference in your kids when you don't start the day with sugar laden cereal.
Lili, Claire, Mum and I had a cafe booking at American Girl Doll in Downtown LA. Lili had been looking forward to this for months. This is where she decided to wanted to spend the bulk of her money on a very special (and ridiculously expensive) doll. She walked all through the shop for a good 40mins before settling on a doll she name Jillian and a hair brush.
Not long after Lili's purchase Mum and Claire showed up and we headed to the cafe for our lunch date. They had dolls for you to borrow if you didn't have your own. The dolls had their own special chairs and were treated like real people. Creepy or cute? I am still not sure. The meal was yummy and we enjoyed the cute little touches they had.
After the lunch we split up and met back up with all the boys who did not want to come to American Girl Doll. Aarahi and I looked around the LA Farmers market. There was SO much yummy food I wish I had unlimited money and an endless stomach to try it all. Aarahi and Auron had a few yummy tastings while we were having lunch.
We caught the open air tourist bus to take us to Hollywood Boulevard. This was a horrible place to visit. We disliked it immensely. It was scary. They were having big Trump protests, it was crazy. We quickly found Madam Tussauds to escape the insanity.
Lili slept all the way through this too. Auron and Aarahi thought this was the coolest place to visit. Auron loved Jimmy Fallon. I don't think he has even watched a show but his favourite youtuber was on his show and well now Auron thinks he is a Jimmy Fallon expert. The Marvel exhibition was incredible especially the 3D movie which had special effects like spraying water and seats that electrocuted you. YES ELECTRIC SHOCK CHAIRS. It really hurt.
Ammon spent some of his money in the gift store buying a cool Spiderman bobble head.
We quickly hopped back on the bus and headed back to the Farmers market where we had parked our car. We wanted to eat at the Cheesecake factory for dinner but the wait was 40mins so we headed a few shops down to Barnes and Noble. A HUGE bookstore. We were all in love. We just don't have anything like it here in Melbourne. Ammon bought a pack of PJ Mask toys which you can't buy here. We would have stayed much longer but our table for dinner was ready. Dinner was yummy. We got 3 cheesecakes to go and ate them the next day. We got home around 10pm.

Tomorrow we say good by to LA and head to Las Vegas for a few days.
