We arrived in Anaheim on Saturday evening. We had dinner in Downtown Disney and went swimming in our hotel pool. We stay at the Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites because it's right across the road from Disneyland. And it's pretty cheap if you book your room a couple of months in advance.
On Sunday morning, we went to church in Anaheim. Then we went for a drive. What started out as a little sightseeing became an all-day project. We're still not sure how that happened, but LA is a lot bigger than it looks on a map. First, we drove to the LDS Redlands Temple. It's in a beautiful, classy neighborhood.
Wayne thought it would be fun to drive to see the "Hollywood" sign. What's up with my family and signs? Anyway, we went. But I don't recommend it. The kids were pretty scared of some of the neighborhoods we drove through. I guess that's what we get for putting our fate in the hands of our GPS. At least we made it to the sign. Ta da! Here it is:
After that, we needed some more spirituality, so we drove to the Los Angeles Temple. The grounds are open for visitors to walk through, and it was all gorgeous. Especially with that cute family perched on those rocks.
We were worn out when we made it back to the hotel. We ate dinner and went to bed. And no, Eric, I didn't bring any Disneyland stew. But I did have some microwave dinners that were pretty tasty.

Hey, there was no "avoid the ghetto" option on the GPS! Garmin, there's a product feature suggestion for ya.
ReplyDeleteI'd be right there with your hubby in seeing the sign--it's a big piece of history! Wow, people go to church on vacations? Just kidding--my parents always insisted on it growing up. Scott and I have been guilty (when the kids were young) of convincing them it wasn't Sunday. HOw horrible was that? Embarrassing to admit! I love the trips where you just drive around and explore. Makes me want to go to SoCal.
