In keeping with the mentality to explore and enjoy LA while we are here, we decided that we are going to try to go on a mini-adventure each Sunday morning. Today we went to the Griffith Observatory. While leaving Pasadena we realized how intense the fires really were. Not only could we see and smell the smoke, but we could also see the orange glow of the fires on the mountains. We realized that going to an observatory while the smoke was so thick wasn't the smartest way to enjoy the view of LA, but we were determined to give it a try. In the picture behind Brant you can see the Hollywood sign but beyond that the view really was limited. We were outside for about five minutes because we didn't want the girls gettting too much smoke and the heat was really overwhelming. So all in all, we packed up the girls, drove 20 minutes, unpacked the girls, walked around the observatory for five minutes and then did the previous items in reverse. I'm not sure it was the most efficient trip, but we did it - we got out with the girls and saw LA and this continues to be our goal.
