Los Angeles

7/27/2020

The City of Angels. LaLa Land. Hollywood. Whatever you want to call it, welcome to Los Angeles, the land of fame excess. Whoa, am I gonna fit in? No, probably not but whatever.

I've been to LA three times not because I particularly like it. The traffic. The glam. The cavalier attitudes. The super health consciousness. I'm being stereotypical here, but it's too much. Not for me. No, I've been three times because I love Ellen (although what's going on with her lately? Someone fill me in.) and baseball. I also don't mind the sun, beach, and running around chasing celebrities. 

I'm going to list what we did on all three trips and if you ever go maybe it's something you can do. Enjoy!

Suggestions/Recommendations
  • Hiked Griffith Park to see the Hollywood Sign
  • Griffith Observatory 
  • The Getty Center - an arts and agriculture museum 
  • Venice Beach Boardwalk 
  • Hollywood Walk of Fame
  • Grauman's Chinese Theatre
  • Rodeo Drive
  • The Grove
  • Saw comedy shows on two of the trips (Laugh Factory on Sunset Blvd and Hollywood Improv Comedy Club on Melrose) 
  • Santa Monica Pier on one trip 
  • Santa Monica Beach on another trip 
  • Ate at Ivy at the Shore in Santa Monica
  • Sunset Boulevard - ate at Ketchup 
  • The Ellen Show!!!! Twice. One time at her Backlot Bash which they overbooked and it was hard to see her, so we got tickets to go back to an in-studio taping. 
  • Dodgers Stadium 
  • Angel Stadium of Anaheim 
  • Pacific Coast Highway
  • In-N-Out Burger- seriously so good
  • Drove around neighborhoods to look at the big houses
  • Tried to find celebrities

Celebrity Match Up

Can you guess if the celebrity is a real celeb or fake? Sorry my camera was so blurry at times. This was 2009. Click on the picture to see the name.

    My name is Lauren, and I was born in New Jersey, grew up in West Virginia, went to college in Pennsylvania, and now live and work in North Carolina. I'm a high school teacher of the deaf and hard-of-hearing by day, a cross country coach by the afternoon, a writer by night, and a full time mom to an amazing toddler. I love my faith, running, watching baseball, chocolate, scrapbooking, pretending I would actually do well on the Amazing Race, re-watching The Office, listening to Bobby Bones, and helping out all moms.
