Day 4, 5 & 6

Day 4 was a nice relaxing day, we just hung around the pool and relaxed the entire day.

Day 5 was beach day!


The first beach we went to was Venice. Lots of interesting characters there!


Then we went to Santa Monica Beach.


The last beach we visited was El Matador beach, which looked surprisingly a lot like the Oregon Coast.

Day 6 was Hollywood day.



We walked around Hollywood Blvd and then went on a Hollywood tour (such tourist i know).

My favorite hand/foot print in front of the Chinese theater.

Day 2 & 3

We went to the Getty Museum for the first part of the day

Not only was it an amazing art museum, but they had beautifully landscaped gardens.

We then made our way to the Ronald Reagan Library. This is one of the other museums I would highly recommend, even if you werent a Reagan fan, this museums if full of history and one of a kind artifacts.
We got to see a replica of the Oval Office that was built to exact size and most of the decor are original pieces from the Reagan's Oval Office.

We also got to tour Air Force One (the actually Air Force One that flew Carter, Reagan, and Bush)

They even have a piece of the Berlin Wall on display

The next day we picked Kari and Travis (Mike's sister and brother in-law) up from the airport and headed down to Hermosa Beach.

We ate at a place called Martha's which is rumored to be one of the best places to get breakfast in the LA area.

Then we headed back to down town LA and went to an auto museum.

They even had the Batmobile!

We finished off the day by going to the observatory.

It was amazing to see the city from way up there, especially once the sun had gone down.
