California Trip: Hollywood

So we left bright and early Sunday morning for the long haul to California- well 7 am is pretty early for us! Hadley was so good the entire 10 hour drive... I really don't think she even cried once!! Yes, the portable DVD player and 5 Baby Einstein DVD's were a lifesaver :)

We arrived at our hotel in Anaheim at about 4:30 that afternoon and kinda just lounged around for the rest of the night. We had dinner and ran to Target to get some things that I either couldn't find or forgot (of course!).


Monday morning the kids were all tired so we didn't get up get out real early. We left for Hollywood at about 9 and were able to avoid most of the traffic going into LA. We did the star walk or whatever it's called and went to Grauman's Chinese Theater. Then we really just walked around and kind of explored for a while. This was the only star I was even semi interested in taking a picture with. I was looking for like Robert Pattinson or Eva Longoria but no luck :(
We then headed to the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum. The kids loved it!!

And all Hadley wanted to do was walk around and explore on her own...


They had this room where you could pose and it would leave your shadow on the wall. We probably spent 20 minutes in that room!

We then ate lunch and headed to the Disney Soda Fountain place for ice cream sodas... my favorite!!


While we ate sodas, Hadley ate her feet!
And she was knocked out just about the second we got in the car...



After a rest time in our hotel rooms everyone went swimming. And again Hadley is such a water girl- she cannot get enough!!


Then we went to a buffet (for Steve and Jesse of course!) for dinner. Here are Liv and Hads in their matching outfits!

Glad she did so well on the drive! I love her swimsuit.

I'm so jealous of that pool! I want to go swimming. Grr this rainy weather. I've never tried that ice cream soda place. Definitely on my list of things to do next time. :)
