Now that we're here...

Rewarding ourselves for such a tedious trip, we went to Universal Studios. We didn't have a whole lot of time since the traveling took so much longer than expected, so we went straight there from LAX as going to our hotel would have killed more time. In the little time we had, after checking out Universal CityWalk, we did the Studio Tour, the Mummy exhibit, the Terminator show, and the Waterworld show. Most of all that was pretty darn cool. On the Studio Tour we got to see the set and some cast/crew of "The Cat in the Hat" that they are filming now for next summer. Since we got our tickets for free from the hotel, it was all very "value added" (as opposed to spending the $47 list price to get in for just a few hours). We also checked out the Hollywood Hard Rock Cafe, which is on the CityWalk, and then went to an Outback Steakhouse for dinner (we didn't have time for creativity, we were starving).
