Road Trip to California (from Las Vegas)- July 2, 2011

Our second day in Las Vegas, we drove all the way to Anaheim, California for 4 hours. We met up our friends from Hawaii at Downtown Disney but we didn't go inside the Disneyland due to lack of time. We stayed there a bit, ate snacks and chit chat with our friends and then all of us headed to Hollywood Blvd. I lived in Long Beach California for 8 years but we'd never been to Hollywood Blvd and Griffith Observatory hehehe. I blamed my husband to that ;-P but now I keep myself busy traveling around here in Washington or other states or countries just to catch up what I missed in California and I won't let that happen to me again hehehe.

My first time to see the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Kodak Theater (dang! hehehe). We went also to Hard Rock Cafe to buy a shot glass for my collection ;-) we stayed at Kodak Theater ground for few minutes and decided to go to Griffith Observatory to see and take pictures of the "Hollywood Sign" where we also met up another friends from Long Beach.

We enjoyed the trip though it was so exhausting, we had a late dinner and left California around 9:30pm and arrived at our hotel in Las Vegas at 1:30am and no time to paly the slot machines hehehe.

Every time I see that Zzyxx Rd sign, I feel the urge to check it out....one of these days I will.

Missy said...

Reena- it's ok that you didn't get the chance to see the Hollywood sign, I've lived there for 8yrs and didn't see that at all until we came back that trip (july 2011)

Lawstude- I bet someday you'll be able to see California ;-)

BertN- hehehe, let us know if you happened to check that place huh ;-P
