We start this morning with breakfast on the beach at Perry's a Santa Monica institution.  After eating with our toes in the sand, we walk along the ocean to the historic Santa Monica Pier (where Route 66 ends!).  Instead of lunch, we have a delicious (and elegant) afternoon tea at Ye Olde King's Head.  The rest of the day is free to explore on your own.

Meal included:  lunch (afternoon tea)

You don't have to be an art lover to appreciate the beauty that is the Getty Center.  The buildings are stunning, the gardens are gorgeous, and the art is world class.  My personal favorite is Van Gogh's Irises.

After we spend a few hours appreciating the art and gardens (and enjoy a nice lunch), we will head over to a tiny nearby cemetery that holds more celebrities than any other in the world.  From Marilyn Monroe to Jack Lemmon to Carl Wilson and so many more, it's a nice, quiet place to spend an hour.

That evening we enjoy a good dinner just down the street from our motel.

Meal included:  dinner.

Today we experience Hollywood - the hand & footprints of Chinese Theater, views of the famous sign, a cruise down the Sunset Strip, and lunch at Mel's Diner.

In the afternoon, we visit Hollywood Forever cemetery, take photos at the Beverly Hills sign, go down iconic Rodeo Drive, and see some stunning mansions.

That evening, we prove that Girl Power rules with a special GALentine's dinner at fantastic Casablanca, where the food is great, the tortillas are handmade, and the margaritas are deadly.  The owner has one of the world's largest collections of memorabilia from the classic movie, Casablanca.

Meal included:  dinner.

We have our breakfast sitting on the sun deck of the motel, then the tour ends.

But we've had a great time and made new friends!

Meal included:  breakfast.
