Hooray for Hollywood!

Yesterday was spent cruising around Hollywood with Uncle Darren as a tour guide. We had another great day. First stop of the day was at the LeBrea Tar Pits. This was actually high up on my list of things to see in LA. It was pretty fascinating to see the palentological work going on there. They've excavated hundreds of complete animal skeletons there dating back to pre ice age. Very cool Collin had a pretty substantial poopy diaper here that I needed to change (because, yet again, the mens room had no changing table). Next on our tour was lunch at the Farmers Market. This was something we really enjoyed, but wouldn't have picked without Darren. Tons of great food to pick from. We, of course, went with Mexican again. Collin was pretty much passed out for this part of the day. I think the daytime heat is actually inducing more naps out of him. After this we did a driving tour down Rodeo Drive (the same exact stores that are in the Short Hills Mall) and Beverly Hills. Not a single star sighting though (CJ thinks I'm star struck, but I'm actually only interested in 2 people: Harrison Ford and Jennifer Garner). Darren was treated to a true Collin scream fest for about 15 minutes during this part of the drive. I think the poor kid was just protesting the car seat again. Next up was Hollywood Blvd and the walk of stars. We found Harrison's hand/foot prints, but no luck on his star. Collin was pretty bemused by everything going on. Our last stop was up to the Griffth Park Observatory, but unfortunately it was closed for renovations. All in all it was a packed and fun day.
