Summer Vacation Part III

We started our day rummaging through a few antique stores in San Dimas and Glendora. My dad found himself a new friend but decided in the end not to bring him home.



We then drove to Glendale to to visit the Forest Lawn Memorial Park. I know, not a normal vacation activity but quite interesting and beautiful nonetheless. This wasn't your average memorial park either. It had several mausoleums, English reproduction churches and Gothic architecture all encompassing 300 acres of winding roads and rolling green hills.



Picture perfect archway

Our reason for going was to visit the grave of Walt Disney.
He and his family are in this crypt inside of a gated private garden area. You can see that the gravestone is mounted on the wall.
Entrance to the garden area

This adorable stone church is a replica of a church in England
Also buried here at Forest Lawn Glendale is Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, Jean Harlow and Elizabeth Taylor, just to name a few....
......and inside these doors lies the tomb that Michael Jackson is buried in.....

That night we watched Lauren and her cheer team in the last competition of cheer camp. They won a lot of awards!!

SASSY!!
