California Day 5

(Finally Day 5)

April 8, 2009

Beverly Hills

Today we leave and head to San Diego but before doing so we had to make another stop to Rodeo Drive. As we were driving on Rodeo Drive we saw a film crew. We hurried and parked and got out there. Laura said she saw Matt Dillon...she was close...it was Kevin Dillon, his brother. They were filming scenes from the HBO show "Entourage". So we hung out and watched what was going on, took a few pictures and then made our way to the reason why we came in the first place. When we were done the filming was over.

The above picture is Kevin Dillon. I took this while walking past him...the crew tried to keep you moving and not stopping.

I don't know the other guys names but if you watch the show then you should know. Below are the other guys. There are 4 total.
And another
This is a scene where they are walking across the street, which is Rodeo Drive...we watched them do this scene at least 10 times.
And below they are standing around waiting for them to say action again. It was all interesting to see and was a great way to end our time in LA.

Now it's time for San Diego.

Our drive was cool...we took the long scenic route...passed through some cool towns. Huntington Beach looked cool. Was surprised about Newport Beach...at least along the coast. was gonna stop but once there didn't see the need to stop. And Laguna Bach was very very crowded but seemed to be a cool place...at least what little I saw driving through. We just kept driving until we reached San Diego.

Below is the view of The Bay in San Diego from our hotel. the hotel was nice but did not compare top where we had just came from.

Once there...we settled in and headed out across the street The Gaslamp Quarter. It's an are with shops, restaurants, clubs and bars....went in a couple shops...I picked up some stuff for Grand-babies and then we settled in at Fred's Mexican Restaurant...we sat outside on the side walk and talked and people watched.

Here is a little of the menu from Fred's...It's hard to see in this picture since it was sized down but on the right side of the menu is the margarita's....4th one down is The Horny Grandma....that's what I had...and 2 under that is The Pomo margarita...that's what Laura had. they were rally good...we had a few with chips and salsa to go with.

This is what our drinks looked like.

Yum-Yum.

After that we hired a bicycle taxi and headed back to the hotel. I will post more later...right no I have Colton and between him and the dog it's really hard to concentrate.

Until next time....
