i love diners.

san francisco, san diego & los angeles diners.

oh the joy!

Diners were the only place in america i wanted to eat at! So dangerously good and unhealthy but oh oh i love them. It wasn't that bad eating at diners because.. Sweden doesn't have them! My mom and dad used to take me to eat at Max every saturday after ballet practice when i was like 6 years old. I eat hamburgers about once a year(if at all) in Sweden so you can guess right that Burgers, Fries & Shakes were a whole lot of fun for me, as the classic dishes at the darling 1950's diners. go america!

I didn't go to "Cadillac Jacks" in LA because i totally forgot about it.. -_- The grease 2 diner scene was shot there. it is very pretty.

Homemade Zuko burger's and Pink Lady Shake's sound good now though.

morro bay

from LA we drove the 101 north and the 1 north, along the coast on our way up to palo alto. morro bay was a really cute town. i found an old car for sale that i wanted and a coca cola machine for sale too. i so would have bought them if i could! oh, and thrift shops everywhere. tomorrow we're going to Monterey and the Monterey Aquarium. the seahorses will be my favorites.

in california the design of the houses come from shoe boxes.

i love the movie lettering on theaters,
don't have them in sweden.

a surf shop! cutest building.

california coast road trip..

wine farms and cowboy horses.

instant LA's..

LA.

LA.

Driving from San Diego, we arrived in LA, and since we had a car, it was pretty easy to see bits and pieces of LA. we drove to Newport beach, and santa monica beach (totally forgot about laguna beach. uh). we walked the walk of fame, saw marilyn monroes dresses, visited the la brea tar pit museum (awesome-i bought a book about it). and visited Rydell High. 

it's so sunny and bright here. the roads here are never ending. it is SO scary to drive along an endless road and then see the crossing roads.. cuz they are endless too. and i've never seen so many cars in my entire life at once. there are cars everywhere. the biggest city i've ever been to.

we drove through LA from south to north on the 5 i think, so far on our california trip we've never been standing still on the highway. driving went very smooth. car country. i wish it was the 70's cuz the cars looked so much better back then. i love my moms photos from 1975. We did get mega-lost once. a road trip that could have taken 10 minutes or less for us.. took 3 HOURS. no, i'm not telling. but at least we could laugh about it. and .. we got to see a lot of stuff on those 3 hours.

i love LA. i bought a bunch of cheap camera film here and some cheap plastic toy cameras.

GREASE is the word!

couldn't miss this place in LA. it was first on our list.
we can die happy now. Rydell High in our hearts. what a pearl.
i think it's the most gorgeous school in the entire world.
GREASE, forever changed my life. and i was 7 years old.
i am framing a bigger version of our jump pic on my wall.

this is what happy looks like.
