California Part 1: On Land

California was good to us. The weather was pleasant, and we were able to be true sight-seers. :)

We LOVED Santa Monica! Street Musicians, shopping, the pier, and the end of Route 66.


And it's thanks to this wonderful friend and her husband for a place to stay and showing us all around town!


Per recommendation of Corrie, we visited the Aroma Cafe in the San Fernando Valley. Can we pause for a moment to say, "Yum!"?


On our return back to land, we wanted to see the Hollywood sign. We drove through a residential area to get these shots:



And because of all the hype, we had to try out "some" burger out in CA. And yes, it's worth the trip!




*More to come! (I gotta add Eric's "land" pictures.)
