Had a really long day on Tuesday. And cheap too!!! Started the day at the Le Brea Tar Pits and Page Museum, because it was the first Tuesday of the month we got in for free. Lots of the tar pits that they are excavating are still there bubbling away outside and the museum displays all the bones that they have pulled out of the pits over the past hundred years. Then visited El Pueblo de Los Angeles - a little old Mexican part of the city where the oldest bui...

Well this morning started out great. We got up, had breakfast and watched Kelly and Michael (the new Regis and Kelly) while we waited for the morning rush hour traffic to die down. First stop: the Warner Brothers Studios. Got to see Stars Hollow (where Gilmore Girls used to film), walked through the set of Hart of Dixie (even went into the doctor's office and her house), saw the set where two broke girls is filmed, looked at all the cars used in the movies (incl...

Woke up at 5.45 this morning so we could be at the ferry terminal by 7.30 to check in! Got off in Avalon and headed straight for Island Rentals to pick up our golf buggy.

Got to the very top looking down on the pier, and he made me get out (we only had 5 minutes left to return it within the hour, so I was worrying about having to pay for more time!) and that's where we got engage...

Spent the day in Disney, got very tired legs now! Hit all the big rides, including Small World, and didn't spend too much time queuing! Going to bed now. Up early tomorrow to get the ferry over to Catalina Island, then on to our apartment in LA (we'll have internet there so can upload our photos!). Lauren x
