On Friday, April 10th, I headed to LAX to meet Luke's Mom, Bob and Grandma Squire. They came all this way to see us from Virginia and North Carolina. We were so looking forward to them coming!
Our first stop was to take them by Luke's work. We met up with him while he ate his "Employee Appreciation" lunch in front of us. But after his lunch break was done, I made sure to take them to "The Habit", the best burger place in all of California! (Yes, even somehow better than In-N-Out)
Later that evening we headed to Huntington Beach. Grandma could barely walk to the pier and back, so it was a short trip, but we got to see the sun set and enjoy the views (and the cold wind...)

Finished off the first evening with a yummy dinner |
The next day was our big Hollywood day! Since Grandma Squire reads People Magazine everyday and is VERY up-to-date on celebrity news, we knew a trip to Hollywood was a must. I found a great deal on Groupon for a Hollywood bus ride, and it turned out to be a great choice (especially since we didn't have to navigate around ourselves). But the tour was a big hit! It was two hours long and very informative. Grandma Squire just loved taking it all in, and was sad to have missed the Kardashians (not). On our way back we made a quite stop to the famous Venice Beach

That evening we headed back to Huntington Beach to show them our favorite sushi restaurant
Matsu Sushi on Beach Boulevard. Luke and I had gone there for Valentine's Day, and have been dying to go back ever since. Grandma Squire had never had sushi before. She grew to like it more as the night went on.

There's a smile with that sushi! |
On Sunday afternoon, we took all of them to our favorite new SoCal spot: The Trump National Golf Course. It's open to the public where we able to get incredible views and walk down the cliffs to the beach. It was a perfect afternoon for a perfect view.
We saved the best for last: DISNEYLAND. They hadn't been to Disneyland in decades, so it was about time they all needed to go back! We got Grandma Squire a wheelchair which was not only a life saver, but it got us to the front of all the lines! We had a great day enjoying the place Luke and I love most!
