| The Griffith Observatory |
We went at about 9:00 pm on a Saturday night and the place was packed! There were people everywhere! And with good reason. Not only are the views of the city spectacular, but there is also a fantastic (free!) museum inside that has all sorts of great space related fun stuff. From real meteors to scales revealing your weight on all of the 9 planets...I mean 8 planets and 1 "dwarf planet" (i.e.Pluto), there is something interesting for everyone!
Of course I snapped a few pictures along the way;) Take a look! And if you are ever in the LA area, I highly recommend this as an early evening/ nighttime "must-see"! I bet it would be beautiful at sunset...

I love going to the Griffith Observatory every time I'm in LA, so obviously I'm a bit envious right now. Looks like you had a great time :-)
