We started the day at the Rancho La Brea Tar Pits which is an area right in the middle of LA where there are sticky asphalt ("tar") pits. The asphalt has preserved thousands and thousands of fossils such as mastodons, sabre tooth cats, and wolves. When you walk around the museum's park and sidewalks in the neighborhood these "tar pits" actually surface to the top of the earth and they are black and gooey.
Then we went to Grauman's Chinese Theatre to people watch. Joe and Tyler imprinted their feet and hands into the cement (okay maybe into Harrison Ford's hand and footprints) and Bo checked out her favorite stars' stars.
Finally we went to Anaheim and had Tyler's birthday celebration at the Rainforest Cafe. Tyler was so happy at bed time and we stayed up reading one of his birthday books, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."
Whew...it was another busy day. We are going to need a vacation from this vacation soon.
