Tuesday we started our day by driving to the Page Museum at La Brea, home of what is commonly known as the La Brea Tar Pits. The first picture is of Kyle outside an actual asphalt seep near the entrance of the museum. The museum provided us with plenty of interesting fossils and facts. Today, paleontalogists continue to explore the site and piece together the puzzle of the fossils to help them understand how the animals of the time lived.
After we finished at La Brea, we took an unsucessful journey towards the Hollywood Reservoir to find the Hollywood sign. Despite seeing it from afar, we were unable to see it close up, although we certainly got to see some lovely views and some interesting homes as we traversed the very narrow side streets of the Hollywood Hills.
Heading towards the Ronald Reagan museum; we stopped for lunch at an In and Out Burger where you can get anything you want as long as it is a cheeseburger! The food was actually very good and the prices, as we are pleasantly finding out, were quite reasonable.
The first thing you notice upon parking at the Reagan museum is the breath taking view from atop the hill. You see a couple examples of this in the pictures with this entry. The boys enjoyed learning about our 40th President and one of the highlights was the tour of Air Force One, the actual plane that Reagan used for all eight years in office. The museum is very thorough in showing all sides of Reagan as well as Nancy. As you can see, you can also pay your respects to President Reagan, as he is interred on the grounds.
Back at the hotel Karen got us ready for our drive to Monterrey on Wednesday. The last picture is the view from our bedroom, just a few hundred yards from the Pacific Ocean.
