Day 16 - Los Angeles

San Bernardino, California to Thousand Oaks, California
We made it to the a Pacific Ocean. This picture was taken at Leo Carrillo State Park

Wigwam Hotel
You definately stay here for the experience and not for the amenities. It was very nice and they have done a good job of keeping it up, but it was obvious that it was built in the 1940s. The shower head came to about my nose! But it was still fun and certainly something different! If you're travelling Route 66, I would recommend staying here.

Sites Around L.A.
We ate lunch at Hard Rock Cafe. And yes, they did have my charm :) 

This sign identified the end of I-10, which starts in Jacksonville!

So many dinosaurs!

This is the real Space Shuttle Endeavor!

The Natural History Museum was nice, but we enjoyed the California Science Center more. They are next door to each other. To see the rest of our pictures from Los Angeles, check out my Los Angeles album.

Pacific Ocean
I really wanted to see a Pacific Coast sunset. What I didn't realize is that the way the coast curves and where the sun sets pretty much eliminates the ability to see a sunset over the ocean. But we did play for a bit right before sunset. The water was COLD! To see more pics of us at the beach, check the California - Random album.

We have now driven 4,500 miles on this trip. We have been to 7 National Parks (plus 2 other National Sites), and been through 12 states so far.
