Monday, December 9 - Griffith Observatory and Universal Studios!

The first day of the California Adventure Trip

Today, We prepared to start discovering Los Angeles.

At first, we stopped at Griffith Park Observatory to get an amazing view of the famous Hollywood sign. We took a lot of pictures. We could see Los Angeles from a high point.

It was a perfect sunny day to go to Universal Studios! We didn't know what Universal Studios was, but we found out that it was amazing! We started with the haunted house, it was really really scary!!! We all screamed so hard and hugged each other. We went to a lot of rides like The Mummy or The Transformers. Also to the Jurassic Park, where we got super wet! Our favorite one was the Simpsons because the special effects were amazing!!

 The studio tour was another amazing part of the day. W e had a tour of the behind the scenes lot. We saw some famous movie sets..like where the Grinch was filmed...and the homes of many television shows as well.

After the park closed we had time at the Universal City Walk to shop and see the bright lights...it was like the Times Square of California!

We had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe and it was such a cool atmosphere! After a great dinner and a bit more free time for last minute shopping, we headed back to the hotel...and everyone's so tired!

This day was so exciting and a great start to our California Adventure!!!

Oh, and extra bonus...everything looks extra beautiful here all decorated for Christmas!!!

Next stop...Hollywood!!! We are so excited!
