Day 7 was the big day. We left our hotel and had to find breakfast. The hotels lobby was crammed full of people who were apparently ok with eating toast and cookies for breakfast. We found some food and stopped by Walmart to get a few things. We then hit the road headed for Los Angeles. The closer we got to LA the more crazy traffic got. We drove 252.9 miles today, and probably 100 of it was in 5 lanes of stop and go traffic. We walked around downtown LA for a little while looking at all the stars and hand prints. That was neat to see, the sidewalk of stars seemed to go on forever. When then grab some lunch at Mels Drive Inn Diner, its made to look like and old school diner. After lunch we headed for Santa Monica Pier. More stop and go traffic but we finally made it. We found parking, and walked over to the pier. When decided to ride the Ferris wheel, which at the top you can see everything. It was an awesome view from up there. After the Ferris wheel we headed for the water and put our feet in the Pacific Ocean, which for me was a bucket list item that I can now check off. We walked around for a little while longer and got some ice cream and headed back for the car. We ended our days journey in Bakersfield, California. We are gonna get some rest and get ready for tomorrow.
