LA Auto Show

We had a nice distraction from life for the weekend, which was greatly needed for me! Matt's parents were able to come for a visit and we were so excited to have them, though it was way too short, but I bet three nights sleeping on an air mattress was long enough for them.

Friday Matt didn't have any class, and so we just kept Malcolm home as well, so we could go play. After a yummy breakfast of pumpkin pancakes and buttermilk syrup, we got ourselves ready, which takes most of the morning it seems. Matt then had to share his latest obsession of Vietnamese Pho. I don't love it, but love the charbroiled beef spring rolls, and their eggs rolls are divine!  After that we headed into LA to the LA Auto Show. Totally a guy thing, but there we lots of gorgeous cars I would love to drive, though I know nothing about. But a girl likes shiny things, so they were fun to look at.

Matt hogged the camera most of the time, of course, but I did take a few pictures here and there, so most of these pics are his creations.

Audi R8 where I think the front head light looks like it has bling!

Another Mazda RX-8

Mazda concept which was so pretty!

Quinn trying out the new Xbox Kinect which is so awesome. You just put your arms out like a steering wheel.

Malcolm chose Grandma to play with him on his turn. He's doing a trick right now. To do tricks you just lean, or turn around and such. 

Wished I had a wide angle lens to get the real feel of it. This is when I was up on a balcony and an old guy cornered me and talked cameras with me until Matt called me to get a picture. 

SLS Mercedes - I actually got to take this and the next couple pictures. 

SLS Mercedes again, pretty sweet. Until I realized Winston wasn't around. Not sure if he was even there when I first walked up. Luckily he started crying and Matt found him in just a couple minutes! It really scared him and he hugged us for quite some time. 

I just liked this so I took a picture. They had screens that covered them up and then  were projected on as well.

Jaguar Concept supercar 

The Jag concept again, very cool!

Morgan

Lotus

Cool Lotus racecar

Lotus Espirt

I guess Quinn wanted to sit in one of the supercars so Matt put him in this Lotus Exhige. Apparently he was embarrassed and so he said it was stupid. Haha!

Another Lotus

That was our LA Auto Show in pictures. It was a fun experience, and reminded me of all the times I've seen Matt watch shows on TV about the auto shows. So glad we had Merle and Cynthia to hang out with.
