We went on the studio tour which was neat. Getting to see the streets and back lots where they have western streets, European streets, suburbia, etc. Sounds like one of the streets we went by was just used in an episode of Heroes that week. They were in Ireland or something. Don't watch the show, so I don't really know.. .
We found a vegan restaurant that had been recommended to us that was down Hollywood Blvd. That had some very good food. We then took the metro back and got off where we thought was the closest to where the RV was. We ended up getting turned around and finally asked someone stopped at a stop light which direction the ocean was. After they confirmed it, we headed to the next bus stop and waited there (they had said it was miles away). Not long later, the same car pulled up and they offered us a ride. So, that was awfully nice of them. We got a ride back to the park. In all it was a fun day.

On Monday we had to bring Mom and Laura to the airport, so on Sunday we drove to Dockweiler State Beach near LAX and had a relaxing day. Laura, Mom and I went for walk into the nearest residential area which ended up being a few miles of walking, but it was fun. That evening we sat outside and played a game of pitch. When Joe brought us out tea he also brought the cat out on her harness and let her walk around a little.
The next morning, we woke up around 5am and drove Mom and Laura to the airport, went back to our parking spot and went back to sleep.

This is actually an old pic. This was near Malibu on our way to LA. There were at least a couple porpoises in the water. This was the best shot I got of them.

The RV park we were staying at was within walking distance to Disneyland. So, we walked to Disneyland and hung out there for that day. For the most part the lines were really quick. There was a Finding Nemo ride that was new, but we never went on that because everytime we went by it was at least an hour long line. There were some rides that were updated. The Pirates of the Caribbean had Captain Jack added in a few places. The haunted mansion was The Nightmare Before Christmas.

So, Laura and Mom flew in on Thurs. On Friday we had to be at the bus stop by 7:20am in order to catch the bus to head into downtown LA and get to Laura's first appointment in Burbank. Laura is looking at going to a make-up school in LA and there are two that she wanted to check out. So she made appointments to get tours. The first one was Mudd, Make-up Designory. It looked neat. The area was nice.
Once that was done we headed down into Hollywood to go see her other school, Cinema Makeup School. We got there about an hour early, but the 2:30 appointment didn't show up (at least not on time) so we got in early. After walking around there and chatting with some people Laura got really excited. So, that's probably where she'll end up going.
That night we went to Wicked. It was awesome. It was really funny and really well done. Joe went home before that so just Mom, Laura and I went to it. We didn't get back to the RV that night until after 12am.

So, I just wrote about the burning pickup and didn't even mention what happened when we found a campground to stay at.
The campground was right on the beach, literally, and it was only $15, which is $10 cheaper than most of the state park campgrounds in the area. Anyway, we got there after dark and a guy had gotten his RV stuck in the sand. He dug himself in right up to his axle. We found ourselves a spot and Joe went over to see if he could help. After trying some things, we decided to see if we could pull it some... We used the webbing we have with us for climbing, but couldn't find a decent place to attach to his RV. Ended up pulling his bumper out some and barely moved him. Not long after that the park ranger showed up. Eventually a buddy of his came that had an SUV and he put it in 4Low, hooked up to the wheel axel?, I believe, then pulled him right out.
So, eventful day yesterday.
We are now in Los Angeles. We decided to get here a couple days early (before Laura and my mom get here) so we could figure things out some.
