Trip to Cali and the Rose Bowl!!

Chance and I took a Man Cation (as Julia would call it) to California.  We started on Friday afternoon and evening by doing some work with Trailer manufacturers.  We made our way to Pasadena later that night. 


In the Morning, we took some time to go to Downtown Hollywood, including Pink's Hot Dog Stand.  If you haven't been here, just google it and find the reviews.  It's one of the best around.  The store has plenty of signed pics from movie stars, since it's just around the corner from Paramount Studios.

 

Picture of me and the Hollywood Sign, way back there.


The Main reason for the Trip was to see ASU vs. UCLA in the Rose Bowl.  The Stadium and Tailgating was amazing.  You actually park on a Golf Course, so it's nice to throw the football and run around on nice green grass, surrounded by a Valley of Trees, rather than smog, cars, freeways, parking lots and traffic.  The stadium is gorgeous, but unfortunately, ASU couldn't pull it out and lost by one point.  This made for a long trip home.  We did have some good times in Downtown Pasadena drowning our sorrows in a late night dinner.  I had plenty junk by then, so oddly enough, I had a big bowl of  Chicken Noodle Soup, but it was amazing nonetheless.
