Rain can't hold back our excitement!
Excited to ride the rides!
Universal Studios Hollywood!
Our first group picture!
The famous Hollywood sign!
Then we headed off to the Griffith Observatory. On our way there the rain started to pour. We stopped to see the view, but since it was raining the view was not very clear. We were able to see the famous HOLLYWOOD sign. We all hopped of the bus real quick and got a group picture! Our hopes were high and the rain didn't keep us from enjoying our first day in California.
After that we went to Universal Studios Hollywood! First thing we did was buy umbrellas and ponchos to keep a little dry. (It didn't really work though haha) We decided to all go on a ride together first thing. We headed down to the ride "The Mummy"! It was a good ride! At the beginning it wasn't too scary but then all of a sudden it got really scary and we all screamed! It was probably everyone's favorite ride! Some of us braved the weather and took on the ride "Jurassic Park", at the end of the ride you splash into a pool at the end! Thank goodness we all had poncho's and umbrellas!
The rest of the day we went on a few other rides including "The Simpsons" ride. We went on it 4 times! It was so crazy because we got to just stay on the ride because not many people were actually at the park. After the 4th time, it was enough! haha Some of us went to the "House of Horror" and got the crap freaked out of us! AH! It was fun!
Almost all of us went on the Universal Studios Tour. We got to see a lot of the sound stages and areas where they do a lot of the filming for movies and tv shows. The tour was awesome! It was so cool to see everything that you have seen in the movies! The special effects were great!
So after a long day of rain, disaster, fun and joy we were worn out and soaked. Some of us actually bought some new dry clothes, yay! We got to warm up on the bus for a little bit and then went to dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp (from the movie Forrest Gump) The food was so delicious and the environment was fun! They did trivia with us from the movie. It was a great way to end! Eating at somewhere dry with heaters all around!
So today was a good day! We got to know each other better already. It was kind of depressing because of the weather, but we are all warm and fine now back at the hotel!
