Rod Run, and LA!! Weekend of FUN!!

Friday night we went to Temecula, which is two towns over from us, and is the city where Jer and Yvonne live. Twice a year they have the "Rod Run." The Rod Run, is basically a car show, and people (like us) walk around and enjoy their cars, eat at the restaurants and listen to live music. Its a lot of fun to hang out and have a good time! So "The Gang" (Dad, Mom, Jer, Yvonne, Alex, Katelyn, Alison, Allen, Brian, Breanna, Jack, Jace, Jonny and I) all went down, had some yummy BBQ at Sweet Lumpys, and headed out to look at some cool cars, and watch them cruise up and down Main Street...

ON TO LA!!

Saturday, we decided that we would head out to LA, to take a look around and do some touristy things. Jacie spent the night at the Freemans, so Jonny, Jack and I decided to go to LA early and show Jack a pretty cool museum. First stop... Peterson Auto Museum!


LA here we come!


Had to take a picture with the first two cars that impressed him.



Then I had him take a picture of the car that impressed me the most.


The entrance into the Hot Wheels section.


The first two levels was "Look, but don't touch!" The 3rd and final level was "Go ahead and TOUCH"


Vrooooom, vrooooom!!!!


Dress to impress for the model T car!


 look out!


that's it.. put it in gear.


learning about motion.


Daddy showin' the boy how the gears work.


so if I just jam it in like this.. it will work?


Newtons law machine.. stayin' in motion!


gears..


Its a race, is it a tie? Nope, Jack won!


And that concludes our museum tour!


Now time to check out Sunset Blvd..



Laugh factory.. a lot of famous comedians come outta there..


Whiskey a go go, a club where famous rockers come out of..




We decided to check out the huge houses in Beverly Hills..



Most of the streets were up hill.. and covered with perfectly groomed bushes..


When we got to the top we saw the view from the million dollar homes..


Of all the giant mansions, this little cottage looking house was my favorite..


So because we couldn't see all of the houses, we google mapped them on my Kindle, they were ridiculously big!





We headed back to Sunset..


Most of the stuff we saw, I was too slow to get pictures of, but we were at a red light and I saw this..





Straight ahead, I took a picture of this cool building just cause I liked it. It was Catholic church. Very pretty..





We had to stop and pee, so we went to Target. This Target you can only get to from the parking garage..


Then you must take an elevator..


From Target, you can see the Hollywood sign and The Roosevelt Hotel..


While waiting for the gang to meet us, we parked in front of this place.. can you guess what kind of medical center this is??...


Ah, yes its a medical marijuana clinic, are you havin' some aches and pains? Well head on down to LA, and you can smoke it up!!


Once we all met up together, we headed to "Pinks" hot dogs. Pinks is a very well known hot dog joint, where celeb's sometimes like to visit.


Oh, my is that a celebrity??!!??





Oh my gosh its JEREMY CRIPPEN!!!!! I knew we would see some one cool!!


part of the gang..



Inside Pink's are lots of pictures signed by stars who have visited.. Jacie and I were most impressed with DOLLY!!!


 After Pinks, we headed out to "The Grove." Apparently this is also where all the celebrities go and shop. Unfortunately we didn't see any. Jacie was especially bummed, cause she really thought she would see Taylor Swift or Selena Gomez. Sorry Jace. BUT, we still had a fantastic day! It was so much fun!
