A good day as tourists




So with as many times as we have been out here before, we have never ventured out as tourists beyond the Westwood area. We decided today that rather than wait around for the hospital stay, we would go on an adventure. After breakfast and a walk in Westwood this am where Amanda ate more than I did, we headed out to Hollywood. Let's just say that there are a lot of interesting people in Hollywood LOL. It was fun to walk around and see some of the famous sites and stars on the Walk of Fame but we quickly realized it was too crowded for our personal taste. We then headed to Rodeo Drive and walked around. It was much quieter there. From there, we decided to walk back to Westwood through a somewhat unconventional route. Along the way we got to see pretty fountains, parks and parts of Beverly Hills. The walk was the highlight of the day for me but Dan wasn't too thrilled with how many miles we walked today. If you add up our morning and afternoon walking adventures, we clocked at least 9 or 10 miles. Los Angeles definitely has some beautiful parts in it that we hadn't seen before. On prior trips we have seen Malibu, Santa Montica, etc but not the more touristy stuff. Amanda was a good sport most of the time (although I did have to carry her the last mile and a half since she was ready to get out of the stroller ... That was a good workout). She didn't have any seizures yesterday or today, Praise God! California is agreeing with her :). We plan to hang around Westwood tomorrow and the Tueday she will go into the hospital. We are very thankful that God blessed us with such a wonderful day together.
