Hollywood/LA Vacation!

We flew out of Austin this morning at 6:30am for a 3 day trip to LA!! I'll blog it with pictures so you (and especially our families) can see what we're up to!!

We arrived at LAX and finally figured out how to take a shuttle to catch the subway. It was an interesting experience!! We were in the Compton/Long Beach area of LA and it was kinda scary!! There was a guy on the subway who opened his Bible and started preaching and reading Scripture on the subway. It was really amazing--I don't think I would have the courage to do that in front of all those people!! But then a guy sitting by us said "I haven't been to church because I just got out of prison." I was ready to get to our hotel!!

We were going to see the sights ourselves, but at the last minute we decided to take a 4 hour Grand City tour, so that we could really see everything here. It was so neat--we got to see where tons of things were filmed, and lots of things we would have never known about without the tour!

Blu saw someone famous!! (does it look real?!)



Blu's feet are huge compared to John Wayne's!

Each letter is 50 feet tall!

No, we did NOT come to LA to see UT play!





We had a great day but are so exhausted due to getting up early and the time difference. So we ordered Thai food and had it delivered to our room! More tomorrow!
