SPRING BREAK 2011- DAY 2

Tuesday, April 19th-

        OK we are really living on the edge now- No Disneyland for us this time! We are breaking away from the norm and visiting Universal Studios Hollywood. I haven't been here since the 80's when Jaws was the big attraction and the kids have never been.

The first attraction we hit was the backlot tour. The King Kong segment on this tour was AMAZING!!
This is Lauren and Jace right before we entered....

The tour also took us to Wisteria Lane where they film Desperate Housewives

Took a drive by the Bates motel....
since Norman is escorting a guest to their car, perhaps there is a vacancy for the night....

Family photo with the Hollywood backdrop

Lauren and Krusty
The Simpsons ride was OK- Jason hated it because it was one of those motion rides that you watch... makes him a wee bit queasy me thinks...


Jurassic Park was good!


Look out Lauren!!


Ahhhh, foot massage


Mel's Diner


Water World show was great!

After we left Universal Studios we went and toured the famous Griffith Observatory in the Hollywood Hills


HOLLYWOOD sign in the distance



We got there right at sunset.... beautiful...


Drove around a bit before heading back to our hotel and snapped a pic of the Capitol Records building!

That about wraps up the highlights of day 2...... day 3 is simmering on the back burner!
