Karen and I went to UCLA Day. The University welcomed back past alumni to revisit the campus.


Royce Hall


Our first event, the medal ceremony.


Kareem gave a speech in honor of Jackie Robinson's wife.


The arches along Royce Hall.


They offer a nice lunch -- choice of chicken, turkey or vegetarian wraps.


We had a chance to shop around before the tours started.


Our little group by Bruin Bear.


We toured the new Ronald Regan Medical Center -- very impressive.


Peace and tranquility patio area -- travertine tiles were donated by a man whose life was saved three times by the medical center!


A glimpse inside...beautiful isn't it?


We took a tour of the "Treasures of the Powell Library Stacks" -- I never remembered it being so clean down here.


One more time down Janss Steps for dinner...


where we had live reggae music and a terrific BBQ dinner -- tri-tip, chicken, mushroom ravioli, chicken salad, fruit salad and dessert (which we didn't even get a chance to try) -- all in all, a wonderful time!


We celebrated Mother's Day early by taking my Mom to the Grove to watch a movie (X-Men Origins - Wolverine) and have a late lunch at the Cheesecake Factory.


While waiting for the movie to start, we walked around a park and found this tourism exhibit on Canada.


Found this neat fountain area by the park...


Happy Mother's Day!
