We ventured to the Watts Towers Saturday. An Italian immigrant built the Towers because he wanted to do something BIG, something great with his life. Over the course of 33 years the towers were erected. Click on the first pic to read some interesting facts about the tower.

He lived right on the property where he built.



One of the towers had scaffolding around it so the tour wasn't has complete. The Watts Towers became a tourist attraction after an attempt to pull them down with a crane failed and actually resulted in the wire snapping.


A trip to Watts would not be complete without a picture of at least one of our kids in front of a gangsta ride!!
