Avenue of the Stars

I made it to Hollywood on Saturday and finally saw Avenue of the Stars.

It was completely different than what I expected.

People were everywhere.

Tons and tons of people.

Hovering over the stars on the sidewalk.

After the overwhelming madness of Hollywood we hit up Johnny Rockets for some shakes.

Following our visit to Hollywood we drove around downtown LA.

Then we headed to South Pasadena for dinner.

We ate at a cute little 'ma & pa' restaurant.  The 'Pa' spoiled us and basically cut our bill in half.

Great day spent with great people.

Hollywood Hike

A group of us decided to tackle the Hollywood Sign Hike Saturday morning.

The weather was perfect, but this hike was hard.

It is about 4.5 miles up to the top and 4.5 miles back down. 

It was an incline the majority of the way up and a constant decline all the way down.

I found myself running/jogging without trying.

You can't actually get close to the Hollywood sign from the front.
You can see it up close from behind though.

Once we got to the top we just sat for about 15 minutes and looked at the view.

While we were sitting a dad and his two sons came up behind us.

This dad carried his baby on his back the whole time in a baby carrier.

He also had a seven year old son with him.

The man wasn't sweating or exhausted.

He took the little guy out of the baby carrier for a while. I got to hold the cutie pie while he took photos from up top.

Yes, I am extremely sore.

Yes, we were all exhausted and hungry so we headed to In N Out Burger to celebrate our achievement.
