Kari Smith, my college roommate from MN came to visit for a week this month. I was super excited for her to hang out with us in our new home (apartment) but then got sick the day before came. We ended up laying low around the apartment the first 3 days but did get out and do some fun LA sightseeing. We surprised her with tickets to see Kooza, a Cirque du Soleil performance. The contortionists were crazy! There were several acts that blew me away.

A couple days before she left we also got to check out Universal Studios. My teacher discount place this year (2 month deal) is to Universal. I get in free and can bring up to 3 friends/family members for half price. One of the perks to working in So Cal. We had a full day of shows, window shopping and soaking in the sun!

During some of our down time while I recouped she taught me and Ben to play cribbage. We love it! Thanks for making the trek out here Kari! I'm so glad you came!
