Well, I really am famous. A lot of people would be really excited to talk to me.

It had to happen. We were trying so hard to avoid being tourists, but how could we justify being film/tv kids in Los Angeles and never seeing the Hollywood Walk of Fame? The Kodak Theatre, site of the Academy Awards? The footprints outside of Grauman's Chinese Theatre?

Photo cred to Laur for this blog's pictures :)

So, we took the plunge and drove a few miles down Highland to the heart of Los Angeles, and walked all up and down Hollywood Boulevard. Oh, the wonders we found.

Signs that this is the Times Square of LA? Shops like this.

So, what did we do? Embrace it! Helllllo, Hollywood!

We saw so many praise-worthy names on the boulevard, and some...interesting ones...

When we had our fill of stars, we checked out the hand prints at the Chinese Theatre.

My love.

Outside the Chinese, there were a great many impersonators. A few Michael Jacksons, a few Jack Sparrows, and a medley of cartoon characters. However, in a series of escalating dares, I think we found the greatest photo opportunities Hollywood had to offer.

This is my favorite. Laur's always getting compared to KStew, anyway...

Gah! If you know me, you know how I am about scary movies...this was terrifying.

Ironically, this was the scariest moment of all, as Elmo sang softly to himself.

After that, we headed to the grocery to stock up for the next week. I love how fruit is so fresh in California, and how you can get blood oranges in the winter.

Til next time!
