Hello again from California!!!!!

Today was a spectacular day! It was sunny and beautiful all day long. Our hotel is outside of Los Angeles, so we spent the day there today, and honey, it was amazing. Beautiful, sunny, and so much fun! This has really been the first day of excellent weather that we have had this entire trip.

As most of you guys know, I love, love, love Marilyn Monroe. So, the first thing we did was go to try and find her grave. We looked and looked and looked forever before we realized that we went to the wrong graveyard. Were we in another celebrity graveyard, you ask? No. We were in a Jewish cemetory. HA! A random graveyard in Hollywood. We felt really dumb, but hey you live and you learn!

Next, we headed to Santa Monica Boulevard. Ever since, I've had that Sheryl Crow song "...til' the sun comes up on the Santa Monica Boulevard!" stuck in my head! Then, to the Sunset Boulevard which Ricky was estatic about. He got some pictures outside the famous clubs the Whisky a go go, the viper room etc. It was really neat to see some of the places that rich people hang out at!

Which reminds me, what do you guys in LA do for a living and how can I do it too?! People drive around in $250,000 cars!! Please fill me in guys!

We went to the walk of fame, which was so so so cool!!! We also went to the chinese theater which has none other that Marilyn Monroe's hand and feet prints!!! And of course, snapped a picture.

There are these people that stand outside in Hollywood dressed as famous characters like Spongebob, Micky Mouse, Tinkerbell, MARILYN MONROE etc. As we got closer to Micky Mouse, he told me we had to PAY him to take a picture with me! PAY?!?! No way! So, I was like "oh, ok" and kept taking the picture. Then, I quietly walked away withOUT paying him! Ha! Mickey started hollering!!! He said, "we collect tips for posing!!!" I kept walking. He kept on shouting, and I kept on walking. There's no way that I will PAY for a photograph.

It was a lot warmer today (like California SHOULD be!) and so we went down to the ocean, and got a few pictures with the Pacific Ocean. And, yes, my piggies went in the water! I have a weird love of sticking my toes in important bodies of water!!! :) You can find those and more here: http://www.photobucket.com/rickyandamy --- The "album" is blank, but if you look to the left there will be a subheading with all the states in alphabetical order that we've gone to. Click one of those, and you will be sent to all the pictures from that state!!!!!

Ricky became a stalker for the day. :) We went to Axl Rose's house and I snapped a picture of Ricky at his gate. As soon as we pulled up, however, this vicious border collie :) directly across the street began barking, and carrying on like a big tough guard dog. Because of this, we had to make the photo-takin' very fast!!!

Today was a fabulous day. We are headed back for just for a few more sights to see and I am sure we will have a fantastic day. Good night readers!! See you tomorrow!!
