la, petersen auto museum and griffith park

Sunday 12th October 2014
Well it was our first full day in LA today as we didn't do much on Saturday after we arrived.  Planned to go to the Petersen Auto Museum today to see some nice cars.  Ended up doing their vault tour which takes you downstairs to see cars they have in storage.  They keep about 300 cars down there that wont fit in the actual museum.  The tour was good and there were some really nice cars.  Just one of the Rolls Royce's we saw was valued at $25 million.
Headed up to the Griffith Park Observatory to look over the city.  The view was great albeit a bit smoggy.  Did about an hour walk around the park up towards the Hollywood sign.  Took in some great views of the city and Hollywood before heading off to meet some friends Lee and Jean who flew over on the same flight as us.  Met them at their motel and drove to the Outback Steakhouse at Glendale.  Had a really nice meal and spent a few hours chatting about what we had all been up to.
Not sure what the plans are for Monday at this point in time.  What I do know is that our laptop is on its last legs and is giving me the proverbial shits.  It keeps freezing up and running slow.  Time for a new computer.
