Day 1: June 9, 2009
Welcome to Los Angeles! Day 1 began with an afternoon arrival and a quick stop at the hotel to unload luggage and some time to freshen up. Once we hit the road, we headed to Hollywood! Taking the 105 Fwy, we got an aerial view of South Central and drove through downtown Los Angeles - straight into traffic! In downtown, there's an intersection of freeways where 575,000 cars pass through in a single day! What would a trip to LA be, if you didn't spend some time in a traffic jam? Once we got through it, we drove straight to the Hollywood Wax Museum. After a picture opportunity with some impressive (and not so impressive) celebrity wax replicas, we took a driving tour of The Sunset Strip, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive and Century City - our dinner destination. After dinner, we had our first celebrity sighting…Joel Madden, singer for Good Charlotte and husband to Nicole Ritchie. Once fed, it was back to the hotel for some fun in the pool and some r&r for tomorrow!
