Back from vacation ~ back to reality. It really is good to be home . . . not so great to be back at work but my desk wasn't as bad as I had envisioned.
We made it to Los Angeles without incident. I was even able to get through security with my scissors (less than 4" blades) and two pumpkin rolls. My son (fondly known as LA Bill) LOVES pumpkin roll, so I surprised him with two. I think he was happier to have the pumpkin roll than to see me :) He already has asked when I will be back because as of Tuesday night, it was almost gone.
We were typical tourists in the LA area. Our first excursion was to Hollywood.
What a gorgeous theater.
Outside TCL Chinese Theatre (fka Grauman's).
We walked many blocks to find this star.
We were there the day after Robin Williams died. It was a media frenzy. One never knows what demons live in others. So sad.

Set high atop a hill, it afforded beautiful views of the surrounding area.
Thanks so much for stopping by. In the coming days, I have much more to bore you with :)
Pug hugs,

You went deep down in there to get those pictures. Gosh was the traffic terrible? What beautiful places though. I am so impressed you found Ronald Reagan's star. I didn't know that was there, I really liked the Red Skelton one too. I have never been to the Observatory. It really looks neat, it bet it is so pretty in the spring.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you desk wasn't too buried and I love that you son loves the pumpkin rolls how nice. I am looking forward to seeing more of your trip. I love seeing it through your eyes. You know the things I take for granted.
What a nostalgic trip down memory lane for me! I grew up south of LA. My friends and I would occasionally take the drive up to Hollywood and walk around, just for the fun of it.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, looks like a fun trip.
ReplyDeleteI would like to go there someday, I bet you had a fun time. Will enjoy seeing the pictures!
