Continued from the post about our visit to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I’m sharing vacation pics from arguably the nerdiest Los Angeles trip in modern history:
We patroned the original Renaissance Faire where our new friend braids hair for all the lovely maidens in attendance. Fun was had, colossal roasted turkey legs consumed, and Ye Olde English spoken… it was like Comic-Con for the Middle Ages, and my heart broke a bit to not be in costume. (I heart dress-up.)

We checked out the retired but still impressive Endeavor space shuttle at the California Science Center.

La Brea Tar Pits, which literally translates to “the tar tar pits”, was on our bucket list– a geothermal landmark to geek out over if you’re so inclined, like m’self.

Popped back over to Hollywood to visit some favorites…



Ocean beaches for the mermaid…



And the rest of the (non-wizarding) pics from Universal Studios…



Honorable mentions: The Griffith Observatory (which we were only able to drive by several times as the parking lot was crowded to overflowing), Koreatown (wherein Little Man was asleep and thusly unable to procure the anime haircut I’d hoped for), outstanding non-landlocked sushi, and authentic Mexican soft tacos.
It was a barrel of laughs, and even a skosh educational. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to adventure.
