West Coast Road Trip: Day 2

closeHey, just so you know ... this post is now about 8 years and 9 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

Today was a touristy day in Los Angeles.

After sleeping in from our long day yesterday, we started off with a late Sunday breakfast at Brent’s Deli (mmmm … potato latkes!). Then my sister-in-law and brother-in-law drove us down to Hollywood Boulevard so we could see the Chinese TheaterHollywood Sign and the Walk of Fame. Hollywood Boulevard was shut down to road traffic because it was being set up for the “Terminator Genisys” premier at the Dolby Theater later that evening. People were lined up across the street waiting to maybe catch a glimpse of Arnold but I managed to sneak a peek at the Terminator they had set up (presumably for photo ops on the red carpet).

On the way home, we stopped at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, which was incredible. Reagan’s actual Air Force One jet and Marine One helicopter are the centerpiece in a giant glass-walled hangar overlooking the valley. There was even a piece of the Berlin Wall. It was a very educational and moving experience (regardless of your personal politics).

After freshening up at the house we went out for a nice dinner at the Melting Pot. Tomorrow we’re on our own as our hosts need to go to work (ha, Monday!).
