CALIFORNIA!!!

After our time in Washington, we decided to head to California. We were really really really sad to leave Washington, however; there were other places that we really wanted to see so we got back in the van and got back on the road.

Although the plan had been to lazily make our way down the coast of Oregon and California, the sun soon set and we were not able to see anything :( So to try to make up time that we had lost we put the pedal to the metal and headed for San Francisco. We were very sad that we were not able to see many of the remarkable places we had been told were along the coast but we figure it gave us an excuse for another road trip!

San Francisco was a very cool city to visit. The Golden Gate Bridge was a sight to see. We were slightly upset that we had to spend $4 the first time we crossed and $6 the second time we crossed....after Debbie started yelling at us that we had gone the wrong way! The only person who may not have been as excited to see all the wonderful things in San Francisco was Sarah, who due to sleep deprivation, had to be forcefully woken up. She was excited to see the Golden Gate Bridge but was also just as excited to go back to sleep!

After San Francisco we headed to LA! We were all very excited to go to Hollywood. We drove up and down Hollywood Blvd and took pictures of all of the famous theaters. We then decided that we couldn't just drive by it....we had to walk it. So we parked the car, after Kayla shakily drove around looking for a parking spot that is. We the walked all along the Walk of Stars and took pictures of the hand prints in front of the chinese theater :) We went and got hot chocolate at the Coffee Bean and wandered around not only looking at the interesting sites but also the interesting people! There were people dressed as Michael Jackson, Superman, Batman, etc. One woman in a Wonderwoman outfit definitely needed to practice walking in her 6in hooker heels before setting off down the street. It was rather embarrassing and dangerous looking! After wondering around for awhile we went and drove down Rodeo drive, reliving "Pretty Woman" It was definitely an Amazing experience. We will have to go back someday to walk along the beach and maybe do some shopping!
