In-N-Out Burger was good and definitely worth a try! I guess I still don't understand all of the hype though!So excited that you started your report! I need to try In and Out Burger the next time we are out that way.
I know...I can't believe they are changing the name??? There were TONS of reporters there before the Oscars and one actually came up to Chris and I and asked us what we thought about the name being changed.At least you can say you saw the Kodak Theater while it was still the Kodak Theater.
It was a fantastic start!!!Yay!!! Sounds like a great start!!!
It was really fun to be in Hollywood at that time! I did like In-N-Out. I thought the food was good, but I still don't understand all of the hype!How fun to be in Hollywood right before the Academy Awards. Did you like In and Out? I've only had it once, it was ok, may try it again on our upcoming AZ trip.
Thanks! Can't wait to share more!Happy to hear your trip went well, can't wait to read more about it.
It really was fantastic! I was blown away by the birthday surprise!Wow what a fantastic start!!
The hotel was basic, but nice!!! The service really was tops, in my opinion! He does look like a little kid, huh? I guess more like a BIG kid!What a great beginning to your vacation. The hotel looks amazing. I love how Chris always looks like a little kid on vacation.
Thanks!Congratulations on your Oscar.
Can't wait to share more!!!Can't wait for the next chapter.
Thanks!!!Woo hoo!!
So glad you had a great trip
Oooooo....if you ever go back, you should visit the Club! It's a lot of fun!We stayed at the Magic Castle Hotel too - it was a fantastic experience, although we didn't visit the Club.
Can't wait to share more!Can't wait to read more
We are! I've been one time before, many years ago and this will be a first visit for Chris! If you have any tips for us, I'll gladly take them!Just noticed you are coming to Boston.
Glad to have you here!I'm in What a fantastic start to your vacation!
It was such a fantastic surprise!Awesome about the cake and balloons ... it's great to know that there are places (other than Disney ) that go above and beyond to make you feel special.
Can't wait to share!!!Can't wait to hear about Jimmy Kimmel!
What a great day! I can't wait to get to Hollywood one day! The hub around the Kodak Theater must have been awesome with the Oscars coming up!
YES and YES!!! My beloved Tigers won't be there, but a GREAT game is scheduled! We get to see the Sox vs. the Yankees! Already bought our tickets! Can't wait!!!You are coming to Boston? Are you going to try to see a Sox game?
Thanks for the tips! I think we will do it on our own with a guide book! Can you recommend any great restaurants in Boston? I want to take Chris for lobster!!!I think you should walk the Freedom Trail. Lots of wonderful sights along the way. They do have a paying guide you can purchase but if you just buy a Boston tour book (like Frommers) they have great information.
It was so much fun!!! We walked by the Renaissance every day that we were in Hollywood...in fact, we almost stayed there! The only reason that I went with the Magic Castle was so that we could go to the Magic Castle Club. Glad to hear that I helped to bring back so many of your great memories! Can't wait to share all the details about Universal!Looks like fun! We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel right there when we did our ABD tour. Your pictures are bringing back great memories. I can't wait to hear about Universal!
It really was a fantastic start...and it only gets better!What a great start to your vacation!
Too funny! Must be a popular spot!!!Yours is the second California trip report I have read this weekend where the first stop was at the In-N-Out Burger!
I know, right? When we first got there, I kept thinking that it looked familiar. I figured it out by the 2nd day! Thankfully we didn't experience all of the craziness that often happened on that show!You're right -- the courtyard of your hotel does look like the original Melrose Place.
LOVE IT! I'm right there with you...each time we passed it I looked at Chris and said, "Look, it's the Great Movie Ride." He just rolled his eyes at me!Love that you got to see Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the Kodak Theatre! You know my first reaction (even though I know better) was "It's the Great Movie Ride." I can just picture the red carpet out in front of the Kodak Theatre!
The BEST star on the Walk of Fame!!!Yeay for seeing Walt's star! So cool!
Can't wait to share more!!!Can't wait for more!
It really was a fantastic first day!!! We really had a ton of fun and the rest of the trip only got better!!!What a great way to spend your first day... kinda like an introduction to Hollywood and all the fun you'll be having the rest of the trip!!!
LOVE IT!!!My own picture with Walt's star is in my signature... that was one of the highlights of my trip to LA a couple years ago! (Well that, and Disneyland of course!)
I'm glad you had a good travel day! That can start your trip out so well!
Animal style??? What is that? That will have to be a "next time!"In-N-Out - Did they tell you to order it "animal style?" Most people don't "get it" unti they have it that way! Then you're hooked! I also love to get their chocolate shake with mine - Yummm! You can get the fries animal style too!
THANKFULLY it wasn't a Brazilian group! There were a lot of them, but they definitely weren't that loud!!!You got to see some great Hollywood classics already! Too bad you were fighting the tour crowd. At least it wasn't a Brazilian group (I hope)
Looking forward to catching up after I get back! Aloha!
ALOHA! Have a wonderful trip!!!
