Exploring Downtown LA

During springbreak Grandma Finlay planned a 'downtown day'.  She goes into LA quite often for meetings, but the rest of us to have much experience exploring.

We met up with friend and cousins and took the train from Pasadena to Union Station.  We walked Olvera Street, the oldest section of LA, which has a Mexican market place with many things to attract the kids attention.

We then walked over to the Home Girl Cafe (part of the HomeBoy Inustries) for an amazing lunch.  

After that it was time to ride Angel's Flight.  

It is known as the 'shortest railway in the world' and is a funicular railway that was originally built in 1901 going up the steep hill from Hill Street to Olive Street.

After walking through Disney's Concert hall, we eneded or exploring outside the Music Hall at the fountains.

The kids tried to run and touch the statue before the fountains popped up and got them wet.  Some of the kids had no desire to try to stay dry and enjoyed the time running and playing in the water.

Fun Day in Downtown LA.
