ok bear with me - this is going to be one of my longer posts - but yesterday was a big day and i took a LOT of pictures. we decided to take a roadtrip to los angeles, but first stopped in santa monica so that we could see and explore the famous pier.
if you notice in the background, there is a ferris wheel that reminds me of the one from the park on the OC. actually just being in california often reminds me of the OC and i miss it.
after exploring santa monica, we headed to venice beach where we saw many interesting things...
this lady was serious about her dancing. the best part about her performance was her assistant who followed her every move with a giant rainbow umbrella. only on venice beach.
one of my favorite parts of venice beach was the skateboarding park located right on the beach! i got some pretty cool shots of some of the skateboarders. i was especially impressed with the children that looked like they couldnt be older than 4 or 5!
after venice beach, we went to the 90210 area: beverly hills. i absolutely didnt mind spending a couple hours in this part of town.
and of course i made time to stop in my very favorite store.
also in beverly hills is lauren's favorite cupcake shop. their cupcakes are delicious and they even have little ones that you can buy for your dog!
once we had our cupcakes, we hopped in the car, stopped by 'in and out burger' to grab some food, and then headed to our final stop: hollywood!
thankfully, i brought my zoom lens to capture the above shot. if you look reeeeeallllllly closely in this picture of lauren and i, you can see the tiny little hollywood sign behind us to the top right.
there were so many things to see in hollywood and we were loving it. we took lots of pictures of stars on the street and even got to see some breakdance performers! unfortunately we did not spot any actual celebrities, but it was still awesome to have walked in the same place where so many famous people had been before.
i also enjoyed watching these kids run through the fountain in the middle of the hollywood mall/square, especially the little baby in only a diaper. im so glad that i got to experience LA again and i couldnt have asked for two more awesome girls to spend the day with!
