Day 7 & 8 - Hello to Hollywood!


Jud, Amber & Jeremy at the Hollywood sign....

So, we hadn't planned on going any further west than the Grand Canyon, but Amber received a text message from her friend, Jeremy in L.A. (he had been following our blog), with an invitation to come to sunny California (actually it was kinda smoggy :-) )....we couldn't resist! So we got to spend a couple days catching up with our friend and seeing the sites in L.A. Day 7 we spent at the Reagan Presidential Library - it was wonderful! If you've never been, you should check it out... it is located outside of L.A. in beautiful Simi Valley, California. The view is spectacular and the museum itself is quite amazing too.

Day 8 we visited the Getty Museum in L.A., then headed to Santa Barbara to catch a boat and go whale watching. The boat took us along the coast of Santa Barbara as we followed the migration of the gray whales. We got to see 3 whales, probably would have seen more, but visibility was low out on the water. It was Amber's first time on a boat out in the ocean, so that was a real treat. I think we enjoyed seeing the sea lions the best - they are really cute little guys.

Here's a link to more photos from days 7 & 8. Copy and paste the address into your web browser, enter Amber's email: afriendofdiscernment@hotmail.com, then the password "roadtrippin" - to check out the photos....
