We flew to LAX, the opposite of Paine Field, a huge busy airport, rented a car, and drove to In N Out Burgers first for lunch. Love that place! Then we went to the Natural History Museum in Exposition Park, where they had an interesting exhibit on the history of Los Angeles.
Then we walked across the street to USC, where I went to school. We walked around the campus, it looks a bit different these days, visited the bookstore and Tommy Trojan. Griffin is thinking about colleges in the future, but I'm not sure we can afford USC!
Then we drove around Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and the Sunset Strip, so Griffin could see some other parts of L.A. We had a fun car to drive around in, a Ford Mustang!
We stayed at an historic hotel in North Hollywood and visited Universal Studios Hollywood the next day. We did the studio tour and loved all the different areas in the park, including The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and we bought wands at Ollivander's!
Then we visited Disneyland and California Adventure, two of my favorite places in the world! Griffin was adventurous this time, going on some of the rides he wouldn't ride last time, like Space Mountain. He willingly put up with his mom's love of Disneyland and I think we both had a great time! Can't wait to go back again soon!
