Winter Break Fun Continues - Hollywood & The Getty

With Emily on her winter vacation and David who also has the entire week off, we decided to do "staycation" vacations nearby and play tourists to places that we rarely go and spend the night.
David reserved the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood and Highland which was a great location because we could walk everywhere including the Kodak Theatre. Our hotel was across from El Capitan too.

Driving an hour, our first stop was to The Grove where we walked around, popped into The American Girl store, and lunch at Farmer's Market.
