From Las Vegas to Los Angeles we had a 5 hour drive which was about average for our trips from city to city. Its funny to think that we are getting used to these long stretches of driving.
Our first stop was right in the middle of L.A. First we took some pictures with the Beverly Hills sign. After that we walked around in this really nice neighborhood, we not only learned where Marilyn Monroe lived but were even able to drive by Marilyn Monroe's house where she used to live. It was pretty sweet seeing where such a huge Hollywood icon once used to reside.
Then we had free time to eat lunch. We were let off the bus on Rodeo Drive! Which is where a scene from the movie Pretty Women takes place, starring Julia Roberts. On Rodeo Drive there was plenty of options not only to eat but to shop high end retail if we wanted. There were stores such as Versace, Louie Vuitton and names of brands that we had just learned of.
After our free time on Rodeo drive we got back on the bus and headed to the Santa Monica beach. Some people were tanning in the hot sun, some went swimming in the ocean and others were playing games like soccer, volleyball or football. There was also the Santa Monica Pier which had rides and some shopping if we would like.
From there, we walked to an Italian restaurant close to the beach. The restaurant was called Bucca De Beppo. We all had bread, salad both cesar and another kind, fettuccine, spaghetti and chicken. Than for dessert we had a delicious brownie!
Everything was extremely delicious. The bus picked us up from the restaurant & dropped us off at our hotel. The hotel was different from the others we had been to. It had an outside area filled with trees and the outdoor pool area. It was a nice place for us all to relax after a great day.
