A Glamourous Hollywood Spa Vacation

Two Double Double's (Animal Style), two (handmade) chocolate shakes, and two orders of fresh french fries sil vous plait!  No, this is not another "Vegas Strip" story, it's our order at the world's greatest hamburger joint, In N Out Burger! Jamie and I happily wolfed down our energy packed meals of glory and waved au revoir to fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. A short four hour drive to Hollywood, California...piece of cake!

RIP MJ!
We blasted Katy Perry's "California Girls" over and over as we approached our destination with great anticipation.  This was a special night, for on this night we would sleep, eat, and take a "spa vacation".  We checked into the Hollywood Best Western and once again unloaded a years worth of supplies from the car.  I spent the next 30 minutes setting up our "Spa Vacation" and prepared a wonderful meal of PB&J.  Since this was a fancy night I pulled out my bucket of spa supplies (shower gel, shampoo, body lotion, and a razor) than filled up a small garbage can with hot water so Jamie could soak her feet. I took a long hot shower and voila...instant spa vacation!.  We had some snacks, filed our nails, used deodorant...you know..."glamorous girlie stuff."  It was an amazing night that was well deserved!

I woke the next morning to a pile of wrappers laying next to me in bed, I must have fallen asleep mid snack...a true sign of a great night's sleep! We were well rested and smelling great, it was time to conquer Hollywood! This was Jamie's first time to California so there was plenty for us to get into.  We spent the day walking with the stars, touring the city, and soaking up the California sun!  In addition we had managed to snag a spot as guests on Sharon Osbourne's new show "The Talk" for the following morning.  We had exhausted ourselves once again, and needed our beauty sleep so we could greet Mrs. Osbourne with bright eyes the next morning. We hunted down our car and headed to my favorite Hollywood Hot Spot (and our resting quarters for the next few nights) "Chez Finch."   

California is a magical place....but it's people like the Finch's that make places like LA worth visiting time and time again...brace yourselves for the next act!
