Peek A Boo!

A fun little side trip.

We took a tour of the "stars homes". This was the vehicle we got to ride in.

This is a gate that leads to a house Elvis used to own. Fans have carved their names and notes to Elvis in the paint in the gate. The current owners have left it so other fans can enjoy it.
This is the entrance to Julia Roberts home. It was one of the most beautiful homes we were able to see. (Most of the homes were so far back off the road and surrounded by trees that we couldn't see them).
This is the back of Julia Roberts home.
This home was built for Ray Croc (founder of McDonalds).
I know all you can see here are trees and a fence, but this place belongs to fomer First Lady Nancy Regan. You could even see some of the secret service agents guarding the place.
I just couldn't resist taking a picture of this statue. It looked so sweet!
And of course the famous Rodeo Drive!
These are some of the exclusive shops on Rodeo Dr.
I couldn't resist Kermit the Frog.
Here is the entrance to Grauman's Chinese Theater (this is where the stars put their footprints in the concrete).
Tim and I went down the "star walk" and found a few interesting stars.
After a full day of sightseeing we went to a musical production at the Pantages Theater. It was WONDERFUL!
The inside of the theater was beautiful, but we were only allowed to take pictures of the entryway. :o(

I know, I'm not keeping up very well! :o) But, our computer died a couple weeks ago and we have just recently replaced it. I'll try to do better. We have actually gone to some interesting places recently! (Like a Sarah Palin rally--pictures coming soon)
