    Traveled to LA

     

    I got a chance to go to the west side for the first time. I was so excited to finally see LA. We see on TV and all the celebrities living in LA and how it looks so fun and beautiful. It was my best friend 40th birthday so I couldn’t miss this.  The first thing we did was go to an in and out burger place. We do not have that here on the east side. It was pretty good. I know it was a little expensive out there. It was so much to see out there. We went to the Hollywood walk of fame and walked the strip. Now going there, it is people everywhere trying to get their hustle on. We did get souvenirs and things from the strip.

    We went to Hollywood to the sign, Beverly hills, Santacruz boardwalk, Griffith observatory, Santa Monica pier, fat burger and just sight seeing a lot of places. It was nice but the traffic was bad. Glad I did not have to drive. It is expensive over there compared to the east side. Fat burgers at that place were good. Those burgers were big and a little pricey, but it was worth it.

    Glad to be able to knock off another place on my bucket list. Glad to experience the other side of the U.S. and to just see what it’s like that way. The culture there is a mix of people which is cool to see a blend. The flight wasn’t that bad. Glad to have gone out there and enjoyed spending time with my best friend for her 40th birthday.

    Tell me about your experience If you ever have been. What were some of the things that you did while there?

    Finally, I was able to go to Los Angeles. Wow what a site to see. I had so much fun. I was able to see so much over there. Let’s start with some of the great sightseeing places they have. First we went to:

    Hollywood Walk of Fame: This was nice. It’s like a strip of stores and the hustle down there is real. Everyone outside with a hustle, selling something trying to get that dollar. I found a couple of names on the stars. Now the traffic is bad, you are moving 5 miles per hour lol. It is the strip but there is a lot to do on the strip. Glad to be able to experience this.

    Santa Monica Pier: Now this was nice also the beach was nice the pier was nice a lot of people. We had to get some funnel cake from there. The hustle was real, there were a lot of people listening to music dancing to the groove. One man was walking and dancing off a song he made about tacos. Now that was funny. The sunset was beautiful.

    In-N-Out Burger: Now the burger was good here they just don’t offer a lot I was still hungry. They only have this place on the west side and had to try it out to see what the hype was all about. I can say I would definitely come back here and get a burger that had a lot of cheese on it. Burgers are good.

    Hollywood Sign: Now this was an experience. We didn’t get all the way to the sign but we got really close. It was nice enough. We always see the sign in the movies so it was exciting to say Hollywood Hollywood. I was glad to experience this and go to this. It is really nice to see at night and how the town lights up.

    Long Beach: When I went to Long beach now we went to Yard House over there, Saw the cruise ship and they have a lot of outlet stores. A lot of nice restaurants and places with patios. They have live bands out there and a lot of bars. This is a nice place to enjoy also.

    Here are just the top 5 places that I enjoyed while I was in LA. Now the 3 hour difference got me some days. I had to get used to that. My trip was great and well worth it. If you have never been to LA the experience is well worth it. Get out, enjoy and see the scenery. I can’t wait to go back. I do know it’s expensive to live there but depending on what you are doing career wise this could be the place for you.
