In Los Angeles

Mom went to Los Angeles for work for almost 2 weeks. I talked to her on the phone almost every day which made her feel better. I told her that we had been at Target and Mall of America and she was very happy to hear that we were having a good time. 

Then, at the end of her stay, we came for a visit. We arrived to the hotel on Thursday night. I was half asleep so I don't remember much but I know mom was hugging me a lot.

The next day, Friday the 16th of Oct. we went to visit dad's grandma, my great grandma. She was very happy to see me, but I was a little shy at first.

By the second visit I had warmed up though and I gave great grandma a hug before we left.

Here I am playing around in great grandma's apartment. She had all kinds of fun porcelain animals and fun little red buckets that I carried around.

We went to Little Tokyo and had a nice lunch! I even ate with chop sticks a little bit. Noodles, tofu, eggs, avocado, and miso soup; love it all!

Then we stopped by one of dad's favorite places for red bean cake....

....what a great dessert!

Saturday evening we hung out with Shawn, Tracy, Harley, Jeremy and Jodi. I know them now and I said "bye Harley" when we left. Shawn was very funny and Tracy told me the names of all the vegetables in the salad (I asked "whut's tis one" for each ingredient and she patiently answered. I like her a lot!). 

Mom and I couldn't quite sit still for this picture but at least Jodi looks good!

Yeah, fun playing around in the hotel bed in Pasadena! On the way home on the plane I slept almost the whole way. When I woke up I sat in mom's lap and listen to her reading books to me. Mom and dad thought I'm an excellent little traveller and I agree!
