We drove about 100 miles today.
After a great night's sleep, we packed our things and headed out to see LA. Our first stop was the Hollywood sign. We weaved our way through the streets of LA to find the sign.
We found Beverly Hills, 90210, Rodeo Drive, Sunset Blvd, Hollywood Blvd, and a couple of "stars". All the tourist attractions.
Next, we headed to Sony to meet Cousin Judy for lunch and a tour of the studios. We had a great lunch and sat close to Cuba Gooding,Jr. Next we ordered coffee next to Adam Arkin ( Sons of Anarchy, Chicago Hope). We met some of Judy's friends who were writers for Saturday Night Live. We saw where they film Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and The Ray Donavon Show. It was amazing to see the little things like thousands of lights and tons of plants.
We passed a huge,white house. It was used for Tara in Gone With The Wind. (That's the best picture I could take with all the trees!)
After a wonderful tour, we had to leave LA. We fought the traffic to PCH and headed north. We drove through some gorgeous seaside views.
Although, Sarah missed these views...
Once again, she took about an hour nap... (Which gives her an amazing amount of energy for an evening ride!!!)
We drove through Santa Barbara and UCSB, University of California, Santa Barbara. Beautiful. The college sits on top of a hill and overlooks the Pacific.
We found a unique Hawaiian BBQ restaurant for dinner. Wow. We need some of these in Charlotte. Good food and not too expensive!!!
After dinner, the girls laughed and giggled as we headed to Solvang. It's a Dutch town. All the buildings make you feel like you are in another country.
We finally checked into our hotel and mapped out our next couple of days. We are a Looooong way from NC!!!!!
