Friday we left Carlsbad and headed to Los Angeles. While there we went to visit the Propstore of London where Ryan had particularly wanted to go. We had a personal guide take us through cool props such as the stuffed Aslan from Narnia, but Ryan was interested in Stargate items. He thought he had died and gone to heaven. He looked through bins of props but decided against buying any. The man who was guiding us actually gave him a free prop - a crystal from the Stargate series! Ryan was sooooo excited!
Here is Ryan pictured in front of two huge props used in the show.
After that we went to Warner Bros. Studios for a tour of the backlot and prop sections. We learned a ton about how movies are made - it was fascinating! We drove by sound stages where the new Batman movie was being filmed as well as the Ellen show. The highlight, though, was an entire floor of Harry Potter props. It really was neat - we all got to sit on the actual stool that they used in the film to get sorted - and wore the sorting hat and got sorted! Very cool.
These are books use in the Harry Potter films...
This is the wall where they filmed the famous Spiderman kiss!!
The famous set where Friends was filmed.
And of course, the car that was used in one of the Harry Potter films. As we came out of the tour, Jacob said "Well that was highlight number 19 of the trip!" haha Truly, there have been so many highlights that if I weren't recording them all here we would probably forget some of them. We have been truly blessed.
