Hi dears. :) I'm back from my short trip. Thanks for all your beautiful comments on my 1 Year post! I'm so happy I've come so far with all of you along the way...! Anywho, my dad and I left for Los Angeles a little after 7 on Saturday morning and spent the next 7 ish hours driving... what fun, what fun! But seriously, it was fun. We talked and listened to music and made the best of the long drive. We got to LA around 3:45 ish and checked into the Biltmore Hotel (which, for your information, was home to the Academy Award Ceremony in the 30s and 40s!) The archetecture was beautiful and the whole place was very surreal. I felt like I could have been in the 20s, 30s, and 40s while there!

We went the The Grove later, which is a farmer's market-type thing, along with a lovely outdoor mall. We wandered and took these photos! I chose to wear a relatively comfortable outfit because I was in the car most of the day... and, as you will see in a future post, I changed outfits for the Les Miserables show anyway. ;)

I'm keeping it at this for now because we somehow managed to take a lot of photos in the short time we were in LA! I included a few Hipstamatic shots, because I happily stole my dad's iPhone to track things that I didn't take photos of with my DSLR. (I am waiting patiently till I can order either the HTC Incredible 2 or Thunderbolt to replace my currently dying Blackberry Curve... What a piece of crap...) Anyway, enjoy! x
