I have mixed feelings about the tour because I felt super creepy looking at houses that belonged to other people. So I figured, since traveling is all about trying new things I did it. Starline Tours isn’t something I would usually do while traveling, but when EJ lived in the area he would always take friends who visited on this tour. Starline Tours Celebrity Homes Tour and Madam Tassaud’s It is one of the most iconic theaters in the world and the next time I’m in the area I’ll be heading inside to check it out. The one thing I didn’t get to do, and wish I had was take a tour of the Chinese Theater. It is one of the best movies of all time. I did go on a search for my favorite actor of all time from my favorite movie, Humphrey Bogart who starred in Casablanca. I even found my “Boyfriend” Donald Duck, which I didn’t know would be there.

It was fun searching for my favorite movie stars and seeing what they wrote. While the Hollywood Walk of Fame was underwhelming and kind of gross, I loved the outside of the Chinese Theater and the hand and footprints in the cement. Since this was my first time in LA I had to do the touristy things to do in Los Angeles and see the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Chinese Theater. The Discovery Cube OC (there are several throughout Southern California) is a hands-on science museum for kids.Ĭalifornia Coast Road Trip: Day 2 Hollywood Walk of Fame and Chinese Theater When EJ took me for a spin to see his old apartment we drove by the Discovery Cube and decided to check it out. I think being a Nanny and working at Summer Camps has helped me keep my childlike spirit.

After doing a little research I found out that there are concerts there all the time, along with plenty of other amazing events like car cruises, trivia nights, and fitness events. Since we were there on a Sunday there was a concert going on next to the beach.

One of the things they have to do for their training is jump off the boardwalk. When we were almost done with lunch a group of lifeguards in training walked down the boardwalk. We sat on a bench and watched surfers catch waves.

With a bag full of food and snacks we headed down to the boardwalk to have a picnic. I may have put a dollar in a Zoltar machine to get my fortune. When we first arrived in town we walked around popping into shops and getting some snacks. Hunting Beach, known as Surf City USA, is everything you think about when it comes to a Southern California beach life. He used to live in Southern California so some of the places we’re going are old haunts of his.

It’s one of EJ’s favorite places to hang out, and some consider it one of the best beaches in Southern California so it was a must-do on our trip. The first stop on our EPIC 7 day California coast road trip is Huntington Beach.
