Tuesday

Today was a bit tedious for us. First, we drove for over an hour in traffic to get to the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. Traffic in Houston is bad, but this was way worse. The kids were able to spend some time walking up and down Hollywood Blvd. taking pictures and people watching. It was a beautiful 75 degrees, sunny and blue skies.

When we left Hollywood, we went to the beautiful campus of USC. The campus is sprawled out over several acres of land. It has lots of trees and flowers and both new and old architecture. The tour guides were great. One of them was a current senior and the other, a sophomore. They really explained a lot about the school and the various programs. The kids were very engaged and asked lots of questions.

After we toured USC, we stopped off at the bookstore and bought lots of shirts and mugs and other college type items.

We were off again, and in traffic again. We drove for another hour or so back toward the hotel so the kids could eat at In-n-Out hamburger. It was well worth the wait.

After burgers, we headed to the hotel for some down time, change of clothes and then off to THE BLOCK. The Block is a mall/dinning center just a few blocks from our hotel. Bowling, Movies, restaurants and of course, shopping. We had dinner there and hung out shopping and enjoying the cool California air.

Well we are all off to bed now. Tomorrow we visit UCLA and PEPPERDINE!

Keep us in prayer!
