Vacation Day 6 - Greystone Mansion, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Dr.

Auntie O had class all day today so we headed up to Beverly Hills to check out the sites. First we went to the Greystone Mansion, it's a huge mansion that was donated (or purchased by?) the city of Beverly Hills, we toured the grounds - the building was closed :-( It would have been amazing to see the inside - you might recognize the mansion in movies like Batman, Spiderman, Ghostbusters, X-Men, Austin Powers, etc!

We had a nice picnic lunch on the grounds, there's a huge beautiful lawn. The yard is filled with little hidden coves, and fountains. I can't imagine actually living in a place like Greystone ~ but I could adjust!

As we were leaving they were holding a photo shoto at the mansion, so there were limos coming & going but we didn't recognize anyone. One group that got out to take pictures and visit the mansion said he was a comedian and in the movie Hancock (I think)...but again...didn't recognize him.

We wanted to take the celebrity home tour but they're 2 hours long and have open roofs...too hot for L. So we drove around and looked at these HUGE beautiful homes! Then headed down to Rodeo Dr. so many fun shops - WAY too expensive for us, but it was fun to walk around and look. There were paparazzi at Barney's but we were inside and couldn't figure out who they were taking pictures of - oh well. Parking - surprisingly was FREE, go figure! We had L in the stroller and were walking up and down the streets, she was so cute just babbling away to herself and screeching at people - cutie!

We headed back for dinner with Auntie O, and packed up for our AM flight!
