On Saturday morning, we headed out for a morning of briefly exploring around L.A. before beginning the long drive home. We walked out onto the Santa Monica pier, drove by the Living Waters headquarters, drove down Rodeo drive and saw the Regent Beverly Wilshire (Pretty Woman!), made a quick stop at the Chinese Theater, tried to find the Hollywood sign (and failed-which was very disappointing), and lastly, stopped at In-N-Out for one more burger fix, before getting on the road around 1:00! It was a whirlwind of a morning, and I really wish we would've had one more day in LA, but we had to get back home by Sunday night since the kids had school on Monday. We were gone from the Friday before Spring Break, until the Sunday at the end of Spring Break...10 days of vacation with my very favorite people in the whole world! I was hesitant about this trip, mostly because of money, but I am so very thankful we did it and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.
We laughed at this fancy Beverly Hills poodle sticking his head out of this fancy, expensive car!
The Chinese Theater was cool, but it was so crowded that you could hardly move. We didn't stay long at all.
This was as close as we got to the Hollywood sign...traffic was so bad that we couldn't make it up to the observatory & we had to get on the road. We should have just taken the extra time to find it!
Our little travelers are troopers! We drove until after midnight before stopping for the night, and then we made it home around 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.
