Thanksgiving 2008

Pete has always wanted to see Notre Dame play USC in LA so we made the trip out west for Thanksgiving this year.  It was a fun trip.  Almost like a second honeymoon!

Santa Monica Beach on Thanksgiving Day

Me getting some exercise at my favorite game before we ate a big dinner.


We decided to eat at the hotel buffet - it was really good!  I don't think I've ever eaten so much for Thanksgiving!

Hewitt - Newport Beach - we wanted to check it out just incase we decided to move out west!

Of course we had to eat at In-n-Out Burger.

Hermosa Beach Pier on Friday.  We drove along Pacific Coast highway from Newport Beach to Hermosa Beach - it was a nice drive.

We got tickets to a Lakers game while we in town.

Magic Johnson signing books.


Kobe shooting a free throw.


I thought if I took a picture of everyone sitting in the front row I was bound to get someone famous.  I could never tell if I actually got someone famous or not!  What do you think?  Do you recognize anyone?



Then for the real reason for the trip.  We lucked out and got a prime parking spot in the front of the coliseum.



Charlie Weis getting in his golf cart.

Jimmy Clausen doing the upside down Victory sign.  He should have been concentrating more on the game.  The didn't do so well :o( that night!

The Trojan horse


Pete and I.  It was a beautiful day but as the sun started to go down it got really cold in the stadium.







We missed our family for Thanksgiving but we made memories as a married couple in LA!!
