California Thanksgiving - Day 1

We headed to California for our annual Thanksgiving tradition, this year with Cristina and Marta, from Spain, as well. We started our adventure with our dear friends, the Hanson girls. We spent a busy, full day with the Hansons in Beverly Hills and Hollywood.



Our day started with a tour of Rodeo Drive, the Beverly Hills sign, and trip to the hotel where they filmed Pretty Woman.





We enjoyed brunch at the famous Jewish Deli, Nate and Al's, where Larry King is seen most mornings.



We stopped by Niketown, where Canyon, exhibited an early desire for nice cars.



We then checked many of the famous sights in Hollywood, including the the famous Kodak Theatre (now Dolby Theater), where the academy award nominees walk the red carpet. It is also a place where we can get a great view of the famous Hollywood sign.



We also checked out Mann's Chinese Theater, where the kids put their hands and feet into the famous people's prints, and looked for famous starts on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.



On the way towards the ocean, we stopped by UCLA, where Mom showed the kids where she went for graduate school.



We ended our day with a nice dinner at Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas with the extended Kohls family. It was so fun to see the cousins play together. We also got to meet Mark, Jamie's new husband. Great night before heading off to Santa Barbara!
