Memorial Day and Hollywood Fun

Thank you to all the men and women who fight for our country, protect our freedom and give up their lives sometimes to do this.

I saw this display at a store and it was made out of cases of Pepsi. I thought it was pretty cool!

Friday was a Furlough day and my brother and I planned a fun day to LA/Hollywood to go see a concert ( The Script) and hang out aimlessly in LA. We had a blast!!

We got an early start and headed to Hollywood. We walked around Hollywood Blvd and Highland. Home of Groumann's famous Chinese Theatre. There we shops and people on the streets dressed in costumes for photo opps. We were trying to decide what to do.. We were contemplating a visit to Madame Tussard's wax museum but decided a picture with wax Shrek was enough.

We headed down Hollywood Blvd. and enjoyed seeing the stars on the walk of fame. Matt Damon is one of my favorite actors but I snapped many pictures of favorite celebrities.

Some of my other faves I saw were.. Harrison Ford, Olivia Newton-John, Robin Williams, John Travolta, Big Bird, Kermit the Frog, Mickey Mouse, Chevy Chase, Kevin Costner, Nicolas Cage, Steven Spielberg, oh and as a joke, Erik Estrada.. I used to love CHiPS back in the day!

There were so many shops and things to look at. LA is sooo different than OC.

We were approached by some people who offered us a "tour" of Hollywood, Beverly hills, etc on an open top bus. Jeff and I looked at each other, giggled and said, "Let's do it!" How fun.. We have NEVER done that and thought it would be a great opportunity for that! We grabbed a quick lunch and got back to load the "limo" for our tour.

We set out for a 2 hour guided tour around Sunset Strip, "Bevawee Hills" ( as our guide pronounced it) and Rodeo Drive.

We got to see so many landmark things. Here's a few pics.

The Famous... Chateau Marmont

This is the club that Johnny Depp owns and where River Phoenix died.

The famous "Bevawee Hills" and Rodeo Drive Signs

This car was parked on rodeo drive.. Don't even know what it is but it has a huge price tag!!

This is Michael Jackson's house.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's house

Dr. Phil's house.

One of our favorite highlights of the trip was the $10.00 store.. Everything was $5.99 that day!! What a lucky day for us! HA!~ What a bunch of tourist junk! We thought it was so funny though...

We had a great dinner at the Yard House. The garlic french fries were delicious! We walked around the staples center and LA live and then it was time to go to the Script concert. What an awesome show. Great venue too. Loved the concert!!

I had a great day with my little bro... So glad we had a chance to do that because it doesn't come around often. In fact the last time I remember a fun adventure I think we were in high school. EEEKK. That was only a few short years ago! Ha!!
