Ever since we moved here, almost two years now, Anya has wanted to go to Hollywood. Well this spring break we finally went, and we had a blast!
You can't really get that close to the actual Hollywood sign, although we did see it! So this picture will have to do.
You can't go to Hollywood without seeing a movie. We went to see "Alice in Wonderland" at the famous "El Capitan" Theatre on Hollywood Blvd.
It was so neat. As we were waiting for the movie to start, an organist was playing for us on stage. They had the whole theatre decorated as if you had stepped into wonderland.
The boys did great! They love going to the movies
The girls posing in front of some of the decorations in the theatre. During the introduction of the movie, thousands of paper rose petals shot into the air and fluttered down....it was very awe inspiring. After the movie, we were able to go down into the basement and see some of the props they actually used in the movie. We saw the sword Alice must acquire to defeat the jabberwaki (?), and we saw the Mad Hatters costume, lots of china, the Mad Hatters chair and some of the English ladies costumes. It was a really neat movie experience...and going during the day on a week day was fabulous...there was only one other family in the whole theatre!
After the movie we ate lunch next door at "Disney's Soda Fountain Cafe and shop". It was pretty good, and everything was shaped like Mickey mouse ears!
Here we are on the "walk of fame"
Taking a stroll down the walk of fame, finding some of our favorite "stars"Do you like how I am pushing 3 kids?!!!
The famous Chinese Theatre, across the street from the El Capitan Theatre. We couldn't get a good shot, because they were setting up for a red carpet event. Apparently the premiere of "Clash of the Titans" was being held there the next day.
