Site Seeing Weekend

Every weekend Duke and I try to do something here in California that is a little different from what we normally can do. We were told to go see the La Brea Tar Pits, which are in the middle of LA. The cool thing about it is they are continually finding more bones that are from thousands of years ago continually searching in the different tar pits around their site. The tar pits are natural and trapped animals and preserved there bones perfectly.



While we were in that area we thought we would look for more to do that would be different and we found a place called Griffith Observatory. It is on the mountain that says "Hollywood" that looks over the city and is more exciting when you go after dark. It has discoveries about the universe and different ways that men have used stars and planets for different things. It was pretty cool.
LA a night, looked beautiful

We were able to meet up with my cousin Mandy and her husband Brad for our little outing. Between our two stops we were able to venture through an art museum next to the La Brea Tar Pits. We also stopped by Wahoo's for some fish tacos. I never had had them and never really wanted to, but thanks to Mandy she talked me into it and it was great! We had a great time and our legs were exhausted by the end of it.
These were made out of tupperware, pretty cool
This was pretty funny...they had 5 cement blocks set up as "art," so I decided to make it "real art"
Duke thought this looked like the lighting section at Home Depot, just lamp posts instead...again "art"
