One of the perks of living in LA is being so close to Universal Studios!! Ever since I moved out here, I get giddy at the thought of going. There are only a few rides, but the studio tour is so exciting. It makes me proud to work in this industry.

It was extra fun because we had fun friends to go with! We missed Ash and JR, but they had a 1 year anniversary to celebrate and another wedding to attend back east!

Here is Irving, Timmy, Erika, Michelle and I:

I love the sets on the backlot. These all look like real buildings, but they are all just facades for filming!

This one even looks like “Macys”!

And then we had a fun dinner at Granville in the Americana. It’s a great outdoor mall in Glendale.

The boys had matching shirts on.  HAHA
