Have You Ever?

Have you ever seen a bathroom  you had to PAY to use?!! Seriously?! When we were in Hollywood last weekend we stopped at an Arby's on Sunset Boulevard for lunch and a bathroom break. I am not so big on bathrooms that are on the outside of gas stations, fast food places, etc...but when you gotta go, you gotta go! So, anyway, we pulled up at Arby's and I was in shock! Call me a small town girl, but I have never seen such a thing as this!

And of course I took pictures to document it! There was a guy sitting in the car next to us talking on his cell phone and I am quite certain he thought I was a total crazy person, but this is NOT something you see every day my friends!! 

And here it is up close...the part where you stick your quarter and turn the knob to enter the bathroom!! And although the bathroom was not "horrible," I am not quite sure why there was a charge to get in!! 

And here we are below the Hollywood sign! A total touristy thing to do and take pictures of, but hey, we were tourists!!

This is how we spent last Sunday, driving  around and hitting many of the major landmarks and tourist attractions in Hollywood! I should tell you that Chris' extended family (grandpa, mom, aunts, uncles, cousins) all take a trip every summer. This year was this California trip. The rest of the crew went on a guided bus tour and then spent the afternoon at Universal Studios, but we knew that wasn't a good idea with our two little munchkins (we had to take a bus when we went to Napa Valley in May and it was NOT a fun experience)! They are the youngest by far and it just isn't practical to load them up in a bus and drive around. So we bought some online kit that guided us through the streets of Hollywood and had our own little tour!!

It was fun...we saw a lot of places you hear about and considering my obsession with celebs, it was neat to see the studios and places they frequent. Of course, we didn't see any celebs...but my fave Katie Holmes is in New York anyway rehearsing for her Broadway debut!!

However, we did manage to make one little stop on Rodeo Drive...at Gap! Nope, no Cartier, Louis Vuitton, or Armani for me, just Gap!! We don't have one anywhere close to us so I popped in and bought some jeans!! That was it!! 

I hope to get some more pictures edited today...but we have another busy one around here! I have got to find Huntler some close toed shoes for school! All he owns are flip flops and they don't like them to wear those at school. Ugh....I am so not a fan of tennis shoes!! Let's hope I can find some cute shoes that don't need socks!! Wish me luck!!
