My Aunt and Cousin [pictured right] ended up getting tattoos on Hollywood Blvd. I guess that makes my family pretty "rock and roll". I’m tattoo free… so far…but If I were to get one, I’d go all out and just get a full sleeve.

I think the last time I’d seen my cousin was about 6 years ago (briefly)at a wedding in Michigan… before that, I’m pretty sure it was when she came to visit us for a summer back when she was 7 years old … I blink and suddenly everyone grows up. Not me though

My Aunt, I see more often… if memory serves me…it was in Las Vegas a little over a year ago. She looks exactly how I remember her looking from the time I was a kid.

I think everyone had a nice time…For the most part, the weather was great. The days were sunny and warm… maybe a little windy as you can see from this photo above… but then again it can get to be a little windy on the ocean. Yesterday as we were walking through Hollywood…it was FREEZING …though I’m sure nowhere as cold as what everyone else was used to. [I'm told it's snowing in Michigan and Pennsylvania now]

Oh, I should mention…err…I mean WARN… Going to Disneyland over Thanksgiving weekend is probably not the best time to go. Apparently…the Wednesday just before Thanksgiving is when they decorate Disney to have a Christmas theme. Even the Haunted Mansion was changed to be "The Nightmare Before Christmas".

And so…I’m guessing this brings out the crowds even more. All I know is….it was PACKED! And I’m told there’s even MORE people there on Christmas day. Hard to imagine more there than the amount I saw …but I’ll be sure not to go then.

I hope you all had a nice weekend!
