Good Day in LA

Yesterday we spent the day in LA, and our first stop was Olvera Street. This is the oldest part of LA where they have little shops and mariachi bands playing.




I think this building is one of the oldest in LA. There is a church inside.

Union Station.
A very old fire station with an antique fire truck.

Next, we had to visit City Hall since this is where a small part of Bedtime Stories was filmed.

Next stop: Chinatown.

We used every coin we had throwing them into this wishing well thing. We tried to get our coins to fall in the marked bowls that would bring us peace, wealth, happiness, etc.



Next stop: La Brea Tar Pits.



The best part was this hole in the dirt where we found some actual tar from the actual tar pit. Playing with tar and a stick is great entertainment.
The last thing we did was drive through Beverly Hills looking at houses we would never be able to afford, but the looking is sure fun.

That was just in one day? Holy Crap. Your kids are great to last all day like that. I guess it's because they had so many cool things to see.
