The Beasleys Go to Los Angeles!

The Beasley Clan recently completed a quick three-day trip to sunny L.A.! Advanced Bionics hosted us and we were able to tour the facility where Lola's robot ear was created. Unfortunately, we can't show you because photographs were not allowed. We did take photos of the kind people there who showed us around. This is Martha and Frank from Advanced Bionics (photos by Lola).


We also visited friends Anne and Paul (not pictured) who showed us around town and took us out for delicious Mexican food and margaritas on Sunday.


We spent the rest of the time going to see various entertainment-related stuff like the diner from Mulholland Drive (Derrick's highlight!) and the house from Six Feet Under:

On Monday we also went to Venice Beach where Lola was able to see the ocean for the first time! We played the classic run-up-to-the-water-and-run-away-from-the-waves game (Susan & Lola's highlight). It was great fun! Lola was somewhat obsessed with chasing pigeons, as you can see in the following video.
Warning: for hardcore Lola fans only!
