Our trip is going really well. We drove down to the L.A. area and stayed in Santa Monica on the beach, from Monday through today (Wednesday) this week. It was a little colder and more windy than we hoped, but we've had a great time. On Monday night we met up and had dinner with my brother Nick. On Tuesday we played around at our hotel which was on the beach in Santa Monica. The girls swam in the pool, and Emily and I did a 3 hour hike on the beach, walking from the Santa Monica pier all the way to the Pier in Venice. We had a great time. On Tuesday night we went over to Tracy's sister Leah's house and had a nice family get together. It was Leah, Patrick, Nick, the 4 Peppers and Tracy's Aunt Sheila, Uncle Ed, and cousin Windy. Leah and Patrick live in Burbank and have a really nice home for entertaining, it was a fun night. On Tuesday morning we also had to have Emily's lab drawn and we went to a UCLA clinic to have that done, it was much easier than we expected.
Today (wednesday) was a really big day for Emily, she was on the set for Hannah Montana, the Disney series which Emily is a big fan of. My brother Nick works for ABC TV and pulled some string to get us on the set for what they call a "Run Through", which is essentially a run through of the script with all the cast, producers, directors. We were the only non-cast and crew members on the set. We left Haley with Uncle Nick so she wouldn't be a distraction. We watched them practice an entire episode on the set, which they will start taping tomorrow with a studio audience. Emily got to meet all the cast members and sit with the directors and watch them practice. After they were done we got to walk around the sets and take pictures. It was really fun, and I'm not even a huge fan of the show. All the directors and cast were really nice and welcoming. Emily got to keep a copy of the script, Miley Cyrus signed a photo for her and she got some additional memorabilia from the show. She even got to meet Miley's dogs who were on set.
After we were done with Hannah we picked up Haley and are now in San Diego for the next 4 days with plans to go to Sea World and Lego Land.

This must have been the most wonderful, exciting day. The next 4 days will see better and better weather so the Sea World and Lego Land days should be a lot of fun and more comfortable than windy today. Have a great time. I love the way Emily's hair looks in the picture with Miley.

Dear Emily -

Em you couldn't stop smiling could you? ...Can't wait until you tell us about it tomorrow.
How exciting!! That is so cool.
It has been cold and windy back in San Jose, too. Strange!!
Who is that hippy with the long hairs next to Miley? Extremely cute Emily - have fun!
I've never seen the show myself but have obviously noticed the intense buzz about it...I'm thrilled and tickled your brother was able to arrange this for Emily!
Glad to hear you are having such a wonderful trip. What a special day for Emily!
What a cute picture! Your hair is so cute, Emily! You look fantastic! I hope that you're feeling fantastic too!
Lots of love and prayers,
Auntie Diana ~^..^~ and Uncle Marty
Wow,Emily! How exciting that you got to meet Hannah Montana in person and got to see a run through of the show. That was an amazing opportunity for you. Maybe when you grow up you will have your own TV show too!
