Oct 9. Happy 40th Birthday Carla!!!! Partee!
Surprise birthday party for Carla at her dad's. Good thing for the huge fire in the firepit to keep us warm - it was sooo cold. Unfortunately we had to leave early due to Dauphin Thanksgiving trip.

Oct 10. Thanksgiving in Dauphin
Oct 15. Lights performing at the Burton Cummings Theatre in Winnipeg.
Oct 16. Looks like somebody is learning how to use their new cell phone. Shireen playing with her new BlackBerry Torch Cell phone at the Tim Hortons/Wendy's on Fermor.
Oct 21-25. Los Angeles, California
Flew by WestJet to Calgary and then to LA arriving in the early afternoon. Chartered an evening bus tour of LA including Hollywood and a brief stop at Universal Studio. It was a great introduction to California!
Day 1 - Oct 21. Playing around on the bus as we toured around downtown LA/Hollywood/Beverly Hills in the evening. Director Eva Longoria debut "Latino's Living The America Dream" Premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Also Shireen spotted Kat from LA Ink at a coffee shop, so we stopped and all took pictures LOL.
Funny story about our bus tour. When the tour is done, the driver returns you to your hotel. Although we kept telling him that we were staying at the Marriott Marina Del Ray, the driver thought it was the LAX Marriott. So when he planned his route, he skipped our hotel! By the time we questioned him about it again, it was too late and he would have to double back after he dropped everyone else off. We were able to stay on the tour bus for an extra hour and got to see Manhattan Beach which was not part of the tour. The driver felt bad so when he stopped at one of the hotels, he ran inside and came back with a cookie for Shireen.
Day 2 - Oct 22. Started at the Marina Del Ray, then strolled along Venice Beach, and ending the night romantically at the Santa Monica Pier! What an awesome day of adventure! Since it was chilly and windy, not many people on the beach, just 1 group shooting a ?commercial? =D
Day 3 - Oct 23. Downtown Los Angeles
Saved a lot of money by taking city bus to down town. What an adventure for a few bucks! But we started getting treated like WE were homeless. Not a nice feeling. Marriott downtown was fancy with a great view from our room. Shakira Concert Anticipation!
Day 3 - Oct 23. Shakira Concert!!!!
Sensation Concert - Shakira is such an incredible singer and performer! The entire Sold-Out Staples Center was just a rockin' !
Day 4 - Oct 24. Disneyland Day. We are off to Anaheim! Since downtown streets blocked off due to Marathon and concerts, we ended up taking Amtrak. What a ride! The wine was delicious! Spent the entire day at Disneyland - what a rush! The cold temperature and the rain kept the crowds down!
Day 5 - Oct 25. Vacation over, time to go home! Managed to get a good deal on a shuttle from Anaheim to the LAX Airport. Looked around at the airport to see if we could find any celebrities, but no luck, and we were just too exhausted.
