On December 3rd, my parents flew in for a visit.
The next morning we dropped off Sam at work and borrowed her car. We went to a church that mom wanted to see for its stained glass windows, then the Wende Museum, the cemetery next door, then I dropped them off at the Grammy Museum (parking was impossible thanks to Jimmy Kimmel filming a band outside).
Afterward, we picked Sam up and headed home to watch the first of the three hobbit movies.
The next day I took them to the Forest Lawn cemetery near our condo, then Sam joined us for lunch at a Mexican restaurant in Hollywood.
After we got home we watched another hobbit movie before I took them up the trail behind our condo.
After coming back, we watched the last hobbit movie.
On Sunday, we headed to the grove for brunch at the Farmer Market and hiked up the mountain in Griffith Park until sunset.
