day in l.a.
03.17.08 | travel &
escapes
our first full day of spring break was spent in
los angeles. first stop was a palm sunday visit
at the beautiful cathedral of
our lady of the angels. then we headed
over to the la brea tar pits to
tickle the kid in us. nicole wanted to be a
paleontologist when she grew up. if you've
never been to see the hidden geological
wonder smack dab in the middle of l.a., you
gotta check it. researchers are still
digging up dino bones in goulash tar pits
like this:
buckets of tar:
a sad story... a baby elephant screaming for its mom sinking in the tar pits (mind you, it is a statue).
denver got slammed with snow, so we relished the green grass.
then we headed to rodeo drive in beverly hills to see if we could spot some celebrities.
r. j.'s competition:
at all cost, we wanted a shot of the notorious hollywood sign. for 25 cents, you can stick your camera in front of huge telescopes and snap this:
to all of my (nicole) pa school friends out there -- i can now safely say i have stood in the footprints of hermione :) i feel smarter already...
nicole has her own star :)
