Day 5: LA Vacay: VENICE BEACH & HOLLYWOOD

Description

We headed back to Venice Beach with the Fam Bam. The last time we were there, the shops barely opened and there weren't any performers on the street. This time we went later in the afternoon and we saw some pretty awesome booths, shops and shows. We especially loved The Calypso Tumblers!!!! If you ever are in Venice, be sure to check them out. The boys were both picked to be in their show. After Venice Beach we headed into Hollywood to check out The Hollywood Stars. The kids were so excited because they saw a bunch of people dressed up: Batman, Spiderman, HALO, etc. Then we went to The Grauman's Chinese Theatre where we saw all the hand & footprint from famous celebrities. I was most excited to see Marilyn Monroe's, Michael Jackson's, The Harry Potter Cast and The Twilight Cast :) Afterwards we had dinner at The Counter, where they have the best sweet potato fries! And then spent time with our Uncle's Tom & Pete. Our Uncle Tom was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease earlier this year and just recently passed away. So this video means a lot to us cause it shows our very last visit with him. The boys hugged him and told him how much they love him. Jason got to sit down and have a long hour conversation with him. They talked about life, family, philosophy. It's definitely an image that I will remember forever. There is still no cure for Lou Gehrig's Disease, but with time, technology and help I'm sure they will discover one in the future. We love you Uncle Tom! May you rest in paradise!
