A quick trip to Burbank ... part 1

A few months ago, hubby decided he wanted to head to Monsterpalooza. I thought OK, as long as we could go down a day ahead so that we could take a trip to Universal Hollywood

... this is that weekend ...

Just so you know, I haven't done any post-processing on any of these pics so you'll have to view them right out of the camera ;)

... leaving the San Francisco airport for Burbank:

CityWalk - interesting thing about CityWalk in Hollywood is that you don't walk through it to get to the parks - it's off to the side of the main gate and you could very easily miss it if you didn't know it was there

Because we were only there for 1 day, we decided to book the VIP Experience ...
... the VIP Tour lounge (set up very similar to the one in Orlando)

... Universal Hollywood:

... the view of the lower lot from the entrance to the studio tour:

... getting on our own personal tram:

... starting out on our tour - following one of the regular studio tour trams:

... passing by the stage where they film "CSI"

... the guide couldn't tell us what was filming in this location but you could tell it was set in the 1940's/1950's

... the Lyon Estates gates from BTTF

... this area is supposed to look like old Mexico

... which they can flood at the touch of a button ...
