New Year’s Eve

Today was a slow transition day for us; definitely needed. We moved from Seal Beach up to Sherman Oaks to be closer to Pasadena and the parade. Nice hotel, just not a great area.

On the way there we stopped and explored the LaBrea Tar Pits in LA. Really cool experience and we learned a little too.

Meanwhile Seamus and his buddies were hanging out at Universal Studios all day. Amazingly I did receive a few pictures!!

One more tar pit. It really smelled like asphalt too!!

Next we headed to the Galleria in Sherman Oaks to watch the Bengals play. The food and service were good, the game, not so much. Once done there Joe and I literally ran across the street to Target. We had our first experience with the cart mover to the 2nd story of Target. Yes. Yes we are easily amused 🤣🤣

The rest of the evening we decided to stay in and just hang out to prepare for tomorrow’s big parade. Happy New Year!!
