tourists




Carrie and John playing tourist in California.

Over the holidays, Carrie's friend John traveled from Australia for his first visit to the United States. Carrie met him in California and they saw the sights of LA, Hollywood, and San Francisco.

Some of their stops included Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, and Universal Studios. They saw stars featured on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and walked in footprints of stars outside the Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

After their adventurous trip up the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco, they rode the famous cable cars, ate seafood at Fisherman's Wharf, drove on the curvy Lombard Street, visited Alcatraz. They crossed the Golden Gate Bridge and stood in awe of the giant redwoods at Muir Woods.

They then traveled all the way across the country to Georgia to spend Christmas and 'meet the family'. Everyone enjoyed meeting John, hopefully we didn't scare him too much!
