I came across your blog accidentally, but I think it's so great that you're traveling with your children! I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Los Angeles, as it can be a very strange place at times! I live here in LA but my boyfriend and I are headed to NZ in a few months! We've never been but we hear the most amazing things and can't wait to get there! We have a community travel blog and are always looking for photos, reviews, etc, to share. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email us at [e-mail]. Continued fun on your travels! The burgers will get smaller from here! Heather :)

Choice bro
Have you made friends with the whole of America? Bet you have. Cool that your flight was good - only you could pull that off Hayley. If Craig scores a bellboy uniform you and him could play dress ups when you get back hahaha ;) squeezy hugs, suz.

LA baby!!
God it brings back so many memories! Venice beach haha is something else isn't it!! No one can undertand what it is like until they have experienced it for themselves. Charlie was telling James about the size of the lemonades, and then free refills!! sounds like you are all having ball. Tell that husband of yours when he boards the plane the american accent stays in LA. Enjoy every minute, love to you all xx
