It seems these pictures are in the opposite order that I intended them to be. Oh well, I suppose you can figure it out. Brian and I decided to have a day in LA. After making sure I had our destinations printed out on Map Quest, we took off. The traffic was good and it took us about 1 1/2 hr. to get up to Hollywood, our destination. First stop was a tour of Paramount Studios. It was interesting seeing the different sound stages they use for filming. Right now they were mostly doing TV shows. We saw the set for a show called Kath and Kim, Dirty, Sexy Money, and others. I haven't watched any of thosevshows but it was nice to see how they are setup. Our guide had some interesting stories to tell about some of the stars.After the tour we were going to drive down to Venice Beach, which is supposed to be quite interesting, but about l/4 of the there we realized we probably didn't have time to go there as it was taking longer than we thought. We were in the Beverly Hills area so I took a picture of that sign and when we turned around we found ourselves on the famous Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, the shopping area of the stars. No, we didn't see any one famous.
We headed up to the Pantages Theatre which is on the famous streets of Hollywood & Vine. We walked the streets and read all the names of the stars in the side walk. After walking for a while looking for a place to eat, we found our choices were McDonalds, KFC and Subway. We hadn't been to KFC for ages so that is where we ate for a big night out. Then it was off to see the show "Wicked" which was really good. I enjoyed seeing it for the second time and found I enjoyed it even more than the first time. After the show we managed to drive back to Oceanside. All in all is was a fun day, and we didn't even get lost.

What a fun date day! A little bit more exciting than your Manson activities, hmm? :)
no fair. .. you've seen it twice before I get to even see it once! just kidding (a little). .. but seriously, glad you had an "all in all good day". there are a lot of things to see and do in LA. i have never seen the stars either. that would be fun to see sometime. dad sitting on the forrest gump bench is funny. .. where are his box of chocolates?
Sounds like such a fun day! I would love to go window shopping on Rodeo Drive and I'm so sad Jacob and I didn't see Wicked when it was in Pittsburgh. It was just a little too much money. What an added bonus that you didn't get lost! Love you!
