Driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles

| Just a little pale… |

| Our brand spankin’ new Chrysler 300c. We love these cars, we hired the older version when we roadtripped around the deep south in 2005. |
Stopping overnight at Pismo Beach
The view from the Spyglass Restaurant at Pismo Beach. This restaurant was really lovely and we went there as they did my favourite – Swordfish! It was delicious, and had the most gorgeous view!
Arriving in Beverly Hills
Three Days in Beverly Hills and Hollywood
 |
Our first night in Beverly Hills we went to The Cheesecake Factory and stuffed ourselves with burgers and Oreo Cheesecake. We’re all huge Big Bang Theory fans and so obviously we had to visit Penny’s work place! |
 |
Rodeo Drive! |
 |
The Beverly Wilshire Hotel, where the film Pretty Women was filmed. The concierge wasn’t very friendly. But I think that was because my mum went in to ask for recommendations when we weren’t actually staying there…and told them that we weren’t staying there. |
 |
| Possibly the coolest house ever?! |
 |
| Please excuse my sunburnt cleavage. Fred Astaire’s hand and footprints! I love Fred Astaire so much, it would be by dream to be able to dance like him! |
 |
| Michael Jackson’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! |
 |
| My brother planking on the top half of Rodeo Drive. It was about 8am, hence the quietness! |
 |
| An amazing Marilyn Monroe painting in an art gallery on Beverly Drive. |
 |
| Santa Monica Beach.
|
 |
Santa Monica Pier – the end of Route 66
|
 |
| The beautiful Catholic church where Frank Sinatra’s requiem was held. Luckily we’re Catholics, so we went along to Mass here on the Sunday night 🙂 |
Dean Martin and Marilyn Monroe are both buried in an incredibly beautiful cemetery right in the middle of Beverly Hills. It’s quietly tucked away amongst the office buildings and skyscrapers…yet when you enter it’s a haven of green lush grass, water features, beautiful trees and pretty colourful flowers.

Ahh, I love this post! This is exactly what I want to do – I almost feel like booking the trip on a whim after reading your post! I didn't even know there was a cheesecake factory! A whole place for cheesecake sounds unreal (it's my favourite). The oreo cheesecake looks amazing!

Ahh you have to, it's such an amazing place, I loved it!
Yesss, Cheesecake Factory is a huge chain of restaurants all over America, they serve normal food too, but their specialty is cheesecakes, they literally have them in every flavour you can imagine!
