Hooray for Hollywood


























Ever since the kids learned we were moving to California, they have talked about going to Hollywood.  In their little minds, going to Hollywood is like winning the lottery.  Why?  Because of American Idol, of course.  "You're going to Hollywood!!!  (insert screams of joy)"  This week we have our family JD, Kim, Tyler, and Tanner in town to visit.  We've taken them to the beach, to Venice, to church, etc.  So today we took them to Hollywood.  What exactly is Hollywood?  Well, in the minds of our kids, Hollywood is. . .

seeing the Hollywood sign in the mountains
sipping root beer floats with Mickey Mouse at his soda shop
swinging with Elvis outside of a souvenir shop
the hand prints and foot prints of the main characters in Harry Potter
the Kodak Theater where American Idol is held

It was a fun day for all in the land of tourist wonder and city of dreams.  Now all the kids can say they have been to Hollywood.  It is definitely a place for all to experience when they visit.  Consider that your warning. . .we will take you to Hollywood now that we know where it is and what it encompasses.
