It was Kathy's birthday which means that we have an excuse to leave the kids with the dads, and go and have some fun together! Kathy is a great friend, and one thing that we really have in common in our celeb trash habit!! So, to celebrate we decided to do the ultimate LA tourist thing, and we went on a tour of the Star's Homes. Here is our tour bus in Hollywood...
We started at the Hollywood and Highland complex, and went up to the Yamashiro Restaurant where you can see for miles. It makes you realize just how HUGE LA is!! This home has an amazing history, (http://www.yamashirorestaurant.com/history/index.html) and includes the oldest structure in California, a Pagoda that the Bernheimer Borthers brought back from Japan with them.

After Hollywood, we headed over to
We then headed into Bel Air where we saw Nicholas Cage's home, and the homes of many old Hollywood movie stars. It was fun to see the House from "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air"
We got to see the homes of The Osbourne's, David & Victoria Beckham, Tom Cruise's old and new homes, Madonna, and many others. We also had a bit of a history lesson, and a place that really intrigued me was the Greystone Mansion. I want to go and take a closer look one of these days seeing that it is now a public park.
Life is short, and if you are ever in LA, this really is a fun thing to do!
