Arthur and Daddy take a trip to California on a mission of science, nature and FUN! We are going to fly into Los Angeles and then creep up the coast towards San Francisco and Silicon Valley.

The plan is to hit some attractions and also see what some big-boy schools are like, such as UCLA, Stanford and Berkeley.

University of California Berkeley was just named this year as the best school in America according to Forbes magazine. Click here read that article.

Getting There by Way of O'Hare

Flying "Untied Airlines" to Los Angeles!!
Thursday at 5:01pm
At 5:01pm it's shower, dress and go! We're flying "Untied Airlines" to Los Angeles to arrive at about midnight. If Arthur can grab a snooze on the plane we might be able to hit a couple special activities planned before we check into the hotel. Uber from our house to the airport, usually around $30, was actually almost ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS so we took the "El" instead and had a nice stress-free ride because we had plenty of time to spare and we were well-prepared days in advance.

Los Angeles After Midnight

We landed at midnight
Somewhere between midnight and morning
We landed at LAX after midnight and had to grab our rental car. What can you do in LA after midnight? Plenty! What can you do with a nine-year-old in LA after midnight? Still plenty!!

Breakfast in Beverly Hills

Casually, Friday Morning
join us on a journey to mel's drive in with a jukebox and some huge pancakes then go drive up a mountain, the most common phrase: "man, look at the view"
