More adventures in California

Buckle up folks this is going ot be a long one. After the wedding on Thursday we all decided we wanted to go explore Los Angeles and check out a few famous spots. We drove around Rodeo drive, up by some celebrities homes, and then stopped and walked around hollywood blvd. I didn't get many pictures of that except for my most favorite picture I have ever had taken in my life. It is a picture with my older sister and we are with a midget puss n boots and a midget smurf. I'm going to try to get that picture posted because it was the highlight of my trip and I loved that the puss n boots was purring and meowing to my sister the whole time. I am such a people watcher that I kept getting lost in my own world just stopping and watching all the "different" people in the world. I can't believe the amount of people who dress up as characters and then charge people money to take pictures with them. My dad kept watching them and saying look at that wad of cash that one has. There must be some good money in that business. We saw everyone from Michael Jackson, Elvis, tinkerbell, hello kitty, Mickey mouse from like the 70's, to spiderman and batman. It was cool to see the walk of fame, Grauman's chinese theater, and all the shops they have on the boulevard. Saturday we decided to hit up Santa Monica pier and the beach. It was awesome. The kids all loved the ocean. My personal feelings about the beach are, I like sitting on the beach but have no desire to be in the nasty, cold water. I sat back and played in the sand with the kids and took pictures. After we did the beach we cleaned up and went to the pier. It was pretty cool but not what I expected. I was expecting more to do but I am so glad we went and experienced it. We didn't go on any of the rides because it was getting pretty late and we needed to go move the cars before they got towed. I got some awesome pictures of Addi in front of muscle beach. She was being so dang cute. One thing we learned is that it takes hours to go anywhere in California, their traffic is so horrible. We learned after the first couple days that it was best to go to one place and stay there instead of trying to get around to much because it wasted so much time driving and sitting in traffic. We sure enjoyed all that we were able to do while we were there. Showing off at muscle beach
