hollywood…for the first time

michael, the boys and i went to los angeles for the first time since moving here. it’s taken awhile since michael has had to go into work on the weekends and we’ve had to continue the house search daily…

we decided this labor day to go check out grauman’s chinese theatre. michael really wanted to see this place (i have big city anxiety!) so off we went.

i was pleasantly surprised by the traffic on the freeways heading to los angeles (i’ve since been initiated). traffic was moving swiftly and we were there in about an hour. we found parking quite easily under the kodak theatre.

after walking out of the kodak theatre, we saw the starline tour buses sitting right out front. we thought it would be fun to take a tour around town since we had never been to LA before. the boys were a little less excited than we were. it was nice to see the city with some context. now we have a better idea of where things are and what to see next time.

the tour lasted 3 hours. that was a longgggg tour with no sunscreen! thank goodness we each bought a drink before starting.

after finishing the tour, we went back into the kodak theatre and had some lunch at johnny rocket’s. we first discovered this place while we were in dublin and liked it so we decided to try it again.

it was a nice day and worth doing again….
