Beverly Hillbillies

On our first day of sightseeing, Tyler & I headed to Beverly. Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.

The infamous Beverly Hills sign

Beverly Hills. Wow. What more can I say. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. All of the yards, bushes, trees, and flower beds were perfect! We learned that all of the streets in the neighborhood of Beverly Hills were lined with a different species of tree. Also, we found out that if you don't pick up after your pet, you could be sentenced to a year in jail. In 1989, Zsa Zsa Gabor slapped a Beverly Hills police officer and was only sentenced to 3 days in jail. Obviously, slapping a police officer is better than letting your dog poo in the grass.

I am sure you can guess the first place we headed in Beverly Hills:

That's right. We went to Rodeo Drive!

What a beautiful place! I had made a post on Facebook about where we were and a friend made the comment that "you can eat off the sidewalks." And, yes you could. Tyler & I enjoyed walking up & down the street window shopping. We did venture into a few of the shops & we were not surprised at how rude the staff was. I guess that is one thing I learned from Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Every shop we went into had a vast number of men dressed in black suits. Security. Lewis Vuitton had more security than they did staff members.

One store that we passed had a Bugatti Veyron parked outside. Tyler was super excited to see it. He informed me that this car sells for $3,000,000.00!!! That blew my mind.

We saw more expensive, exotic cars than either of us had ever seen in our entire lives. Range Rover's are like Ford Taurus's in Arkansas. We ate lunch outside at a restaurant just off Rodeo Drive. Every few minutes we would hear what sounded like a street bike but it would be some wild Ferrari. And the Rolls-Royce's were everywhere.

This is the store that the Bugatti was parked in front of.

This store, bijan, is considered the world's most expensive store. We learned on our bus tour of Hollywood that you can only shop at this store by appointment and that the cheapest suit sells for $15,000. When I got back to the camper I did some research on the bijan line and found that President Obama wears his suits.

Beverly Hills was amazing!
