OK, so day 2! We started off at Target in Hermosa Beach- we accidentally forget an entire suitcase of the girls (oops). It was fine since these are Targets everywhere!! So after some nightgown & sock purchases- off we went to Downtown LA.
Driving into LA, past the Staples Center was pretty cool- we'd never been Downtown before- so I have always sort of felt like I'd never 'officially' been to LA. Down the blocks we drove wondering if we would be safe at our destination! When we finally found Santee St. we knew if would be fine. People were everywhere and vendors were ready for us! Santee Alley is in the Fashion District and they describe it as something like a foreign market where bartering and haggling is encouraged. Walls of purses and sunglasses- note it says "babe" not "bebe"....hmmmm. Might be a knock off? But there were clothes and shoes and shoes and more shoes- $10 a pair! and they were cute! So Carol bought about 10 purses for everyone ;).......and we had a really fun time avoiding the bacon-wrapped hot dogs. And I am DEFINITELY making another trip sometime soon!!
So after that adventure we headed back to Hollywood for a hot dog at the famous Pink's Hot Dog Stand. Apparently it is a celebrity hang out with- yes, valet parking. They had hot dogs named after the celebrities who ordered them and autographed photos all over the walls. It was pretty fun- but we didn't see anyone famous. Oh well.
Finally we were off to Disneyland. We had dinner in Downtown Disney at the Rainforest Cafe (which was SO fun- they have thunderstorms every 15 minutes..... which Emma was not thrilled about). We had a fun dinner- great hot wings- and headed back to the hotel. The girls were very ready to go to Disney, but we had to wait one more night...so we all got to bed early so we could be at the gates when they opened.....but I'll save that for the next blog!! :)
