Mami's LA Getaway: Featuring Glee, Matthew Rhys and Dunder Mifflin

Mami and papi's big vacation to LA turned out to be better than they ever expected! Not that they thought it would be bad, but mami came home gushing about all the great things they got to do.

I didn't do too bad myself here with grandma and grandpa, I got to go to McDonald's and eat lots of chocolate!

Before leaving I heard her tell papi, "I would love to meet someone from The Office, Mad Men, Brothers and Sisters or Glee"  (these are all her favourite TV shows).

Papi just quietly smiled and shook his head. But I know he was thinking I was thinking - Okay mami, good luck with that!

But low and behold, her three of her wishes came true in one way or another:

1. She went on Glee and got to see where the show is filmed - sorry to tell you McKinley High School isn't real, and neither is Mr. Shue's apartment. It's all make-believe or a "set".

Who knew?

2. She and papi drove by the Scranton Business Park where the office of Dundler Mifflen is located (but only from the outside)

3. And lastly, on her way back from LA she ran into actor Matthew Rhys at LAX airport!

He is on the show Brothers and Sisters and mami didn't hesitate to go up to him and they talked for a little while. Papi said she got on the plane with a huge smile on her face.

Cheeeeeese! Mami with actor Matthew - papi didn't know who he was!

See, everyone likes meeting someone from TV, but mami absolutely loves watching good shows and good movies and is always wanting to know where everything is filmed, how it's done, and who the actors are. Mostly I think because she wishes she could have continued with her acting.

Maybe one day she will, you never know, right?

Well, now it's back to reality for all of us, no more waking up late and doing whatever we want. I just hope next time they take me on vacation.  I want to meet Handy Manny or Dora!

Who have you met or would like to meet?
