We finished our time in Los Angeles today but it took a little bit to get Michael and Leo up and going this morning…

But once they learned we were headed to Warner Bros – who had a part in the Harry Potter movies and Batman vs Superman movie. On a side note, we felt quite sophisticated taking our first Uber ride 😀 🚗

The Warner Bros Studio Tour was so cool! 

We saw “New York” brownstones in California

We got to go onto Ellen’s set (but no photos inside 😬)

Then we stopped at one of the movie museums which should have been called the Michael and Leo building! First floor: DC Comics featuring actual props from Superman vs Batman; and Second floor: actual props from all the Harry Potter movies 😊😉😍

The real clothes worn by Harry, Hermironie, and Ron in Chamber of Secrets!

The Troll they fought in the Sorcerer’s Stone

We were all “sorted” into our house by the Sorting Hat. Leo is Griffindor!

Michael was sorted into Slytherin 😬. He was not happy about this!

I’ll be heading to HufflePuff

Mike is headed to Griffindor with Leo

One of Harry’s REAL wands!!!

Then we went downstairs…

Think he’s happy? 😀

I always wanted to be Wonder Woman🌟

Uh oh! Looks like the Suicide Squad captured some bad guys 😜

Touching REAL LIVE Kryptonite 😳

Then we headed to Studio 48 to see exhibits from big WB Shows and see how the movie process takes place.  The boys designed their own cars for Batman 

We also got to see the Mobile Museum with all the batman cars, motorcycles and planes

Then we wandered into a little coffee shop… Maybe you’ve heard of it? I just hung out with my Friends 😄
And after a few tries, coming soon to a Christmas card near you…

We also got to learn a little “movie magic” like positional sizing.  By making some chairs smaller, and other bigger, closer/further away from camera, and larger smaller props you can completely change the sizing on screen

So this is with plain eye, and Leo looks a little bigger, but then on camera…

It was so cool to see.

 We also got to see what we all look like as computer images. How’s this for a Christmas card?

And then we turned around to see the Green Screen! And guess what you could do:

They then took the pictures and added the computer images and movement! Oh. My. Word! It cannot get any better!!!

Or can it?

What the what?!?! Best day ever! Just let us know if you want to see our video debuts 😀

We then headed out to one of 2 really long drives -5 hours to San Francisco… We decided to try a California landmark for lunch, In-n-Out Burger.  It was delicious!! And just to complete our full-on tourist persona… We made pictures inside and outside the restaurant! Wish I could have gotten a picture of the people laughing at us 😂😜😂😜😂

We cruised on up Interstate 5.  We decided to use the time to try our Chocolate Frogs.

They tasted pretty good – just regular chocolate shaped like a frog… And we got our collector card: Helga Hufflepuff

We tried our “Bert’s Any Flavor Beans” – oh my goodness! Some of the flavors: ear wax; boogies; black pepper; earthworm; and sausage 😝

Michael tried vomit flavored first

It obviously was disgusting but we had the best time laughing! Then Leo tried earthworm:

 Hahahaha! Apparently earthworm isn’t good – ya think?!?! 😂😂😂

We had a beautiful drive through the Central Valley of California. Boys could not get over how flat it was!

 Also saw some wind farms which we all thought were really cool. I never realized how big the wind turbines are!

Boys also like going across the Bay Bridge – we went across the new bridge since the  old one was damaged in an earthquake a few years ago.

Once we got checked into the hotel (which is a brand new Holiday Inn Express at Union square – great!- built over a bar- umm, not a great idea😬… But the cover band is pretty good 😛 right now we are rocking out to “I love Rock-n-Roll”), we headed out to dinner at a local Italian place, Cafe Mason, recommended by the front desk clerk.  It was wonderful! We have had the best food! 

Think these 2 are having a pretty good time ❤️❤️❤️We are shutting it down tonight 😆😴💤 think this crowd is sleepy enough that even a rocking cover of Jesse’s Girl can’t  keep us awake! 🎶💤🎶💤

Good night everybody 💤💤💤
