We took our time. Saturday was a tiring day of RV racing, wedding attending, photo shooting, and Universal Studios City Walk&#8230; topping it off with In and Out Burger at midnight. And it was gooood! Very simple menu, cooked to order, fresh. Similar to our Five Guys, but a little cheaper and ALL OVER California!<\/p>\n<p>We recharged our batteries by relaxing in, eating turkey bacon and egg sandwiches while recharging all the batteries of the electronics. Our next stop was Griffith Observatory.<\/p>\n<p>So our lunch is a shake from the night before. Not a great choice once we realized the hike up from parking on the street. EVERYBODY was there. Taking pictures, hiking the trails, running the hills&#8230; it was a nice Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>By a recent post, you also saw the Hollywood sign, as did we (but we were closer :). We really didn&#8217;t spend too much time there and I woulda loved to refresh my science knowledge but Santa Monica was calling (don&#8217;t tell Becca, she may get jealous).<\/p>\n<p>On the way to the pier we drove down Hollywood Blvd with the top down and a camera strapped to my head (to give a POV look for those who have never been). I didn&#8217;t get many strange looks except from Becca. This is California. Driving with a camera on your head is a daily occurrence.<\/p>\n<p>After doing Beverly and Rodeo, we finally made our way to the Santa Monica Pier. The pictures will show what words can&#8217;t do.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmichaelrhoades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/20130305-102402.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmichaelrhoades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/20130305-102402.jpg\" alt=\"20130305-102402.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmichaelrhoades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/20130305-102512.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmichaelrhoades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/20130305-102512.jpg\" alt=\"20130305-102512.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmichaelrhoades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/20130305-102640.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmichaelrhoades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/20130305-102640.jpg\" alt=\"20130305-102640.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmichaelrhoades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/20130305-102745.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmichaelrhoades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/20130305-102745.jpg\" alt=\"20130305-102745.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmichaelrhoades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/20130305-102905.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmichaelrhoades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/20130305-102905.jpg\" alt=\"20130305-102905.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmichaelrhoades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/20130305-1029442.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmichaelrhoades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/20130305-1029442.jpg\" alt=\"20130305-102944.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday.
