I got to go along on another great road trip adventure with my peoples, this time to Los Angeles California! LA is the second most populous city in the United States, the most populous city in the state of California and the western United States!
They have an area called "Hollywood" where there is a stars "Walk of Fame" and a place called Grauman's Chinese Theater, where I got to see John Wayne's signature and foot prints! This was really cool because I visited his birthplace of Winterset Iowa a few weeks ago!

This is "Pink's" a famous Hot Dog stand in LA .. the lines are so long you can wait an hour to eat there! My peoples said NO WAY!
We also went to see the famous "Hollywood" sign
It was beautiful up there and we had a view of the Hollywood Reservoir and was able to see a few "stars" home's back yard too!

On our drive home, my peoples decided to stop at the Port of Los Angeles, in San Pedro CA.
This is where the shipyards are for imported/exported goods, as well as the cruise ship docking!
A view from the Vincent Thomas Bridge .. it was VERY high up!
There is the Maritime Museum there, where you can discover the history of Los Angeles Harbor!
We only got to drive past it though ..
and there was a carnival too!
We didnt have time to ride the rides, but my peoples really wanted to!
I enjoyed getting to sit on the docks!
We didnt get to the area where the cruise ships dock, because my peoples spent too much time SHOPPING! but there were lots of other "not so big" boats in the water ...
If you get to this area, there is an amazing shop that my peoples enjoyed, called Art's and Music, and the owner Micci was wonderfully nice to us!
I found some pretty faeries for my peoples!
They had so many neat things in this store!!!
This was a Himalayan Salt Rock light. They are a natural ionizer for your home!
On the way to the Port, we took a left instead of a right and we were glad we did!! WHY??? Because we found an awesome little diner called "Eat At Rudy's!"
If you are in this area, its a must stop and eat! The food was excellent, and our waitress was the best! She even wrote out directions to assure we found our way back to the port!!
There are so many fun and exciting things to do and see in LA, we just didn't get to do them all .. This is a city we will definitely be visiting again!
