Our LA trip

I won a trip from Jazz/Coke last month. It was so much fun! We started out on a Friday morning and we attended a closed Jazz practice. It was fun to be that close and watch them practice. I have to admit, Eric was telling me who they were the entire way!
When we reached LA.  They took us to a super nice restaurant on the marina.  I forgot my camera, and it was dark, so this is  the best I could do with my phone.
We stayed at the Marriott  Resort in Mario Del Ray. 
We traveled on the team bus.  It was huge! Especially when it was just taking the 10 of us!
On the way to the game, Ed our bus driver would tell us all the different hot spots of LA.  He was classic!  He would tell us when we went over the stretch of road that was used in Speed! A movie which I actually like!  The Kids Choice Awards were going on so there was a lot of  hoopla for that.  I think my kids would have liked me to go and snap pictures there!
At the Staples Center with the other contest winners.  Also with Suzanne from the Jazz and Jamie with Coke.
We were given floor passes.  So we were able to go on the floor during the beginning of the game while the team warmed up.
The group.  Notice we are with some die hard Jazz fans.  I guess I should have grabbed a shirt!
Jazz vs Clippers game!  It was a lot of fun watching the game in the suite.  It was loaded with great food and a great view.
Michael Clark Duncan. The only celeb we saw.  The two men at the bottom were hilarious! They always popped up on the jumbo tron doing funny things.  Then we were home, we have noticed the one in the red jersey in commercials.  They were hams!
We were able to visit with and get Devin Harris's autograph. He was super nice and Carter was thrilled!  Blake Griffin huge there!  Not just on the poster either. They love their Blake.


It was such a fun little trip. Thanks to the Jazz and Coke who paid for everything! I guess people really do win contests!
