Hey Yeh Takes LA / 2

Alright.. this is our last post on the sister's trip, we're just too excited for it if you can't tell. We finally finished editing the video and here are some of the highlights of what we did in San Diego and Los Angeles. I've also listed some of the places that we ate at and visited.. hope you enjoy it!




We got some really awesome recommendations from our friend Greg (lives in SD), who knew exactly where we wanted to go, thanks Greg!

San Diego
La Jolla
Whisknladle - brunch spot - flat breads were amazing

Hey Yeh Takes LA

If you have siblings, I encourage you to always keep up with them and try to make time to see them at least once a year, if not more. We all live quite far from each other and are embarking on very different parts of our own adventure, so we hardly have time to keep up with each other on the daily, which made this sister trip so important and so much fun!

We chose to stay in California because we wanted a nice and relaxing trip where we didn't have to worry about getting lost, language barriers, and pick pocketing. We took it easy, did a lot of shopping, eating, and spent time catching up! We have a video coming really soon to show you all the fun stuff we did, and all the yummy food we ate! I'm super excited about it, and hope you are too! 
Thanks Ashlyn for your apartment!

SacTown

Took a quick weekend trip to Sacramento. The city is small, but very beautiful and full of little quirks. We had a very eventful three days sight seeing, attending a dance battle, and shot the behind the scenes of an open field photo shoot that I can't say much about until the photos are out. We spent most of our free time in Old Sac, where it really felt like we were in an old western movie scene with cowboys and tumble weed. I didn't prep myself well for the cold weather, and came down with something the last day. After multiple airborne drinks, claritin-D and nyquil I'm feeling much better now!

london

I went to London last week for a business trip.  The last time I was there, it was 2005 and I had gone during college spring break... I know what you're thinking, why London of all places? And it's true, London at that time of year was certainly not an ideal spring break destination, it was dreary and cold just like the north east where I was studying.  But my parents invited me, so why not.  Anyway, last week was fantastic.  I not only caught "what Londoners said" the nicest weather they've had in seven years, I was also there for the birth of the royal baby.  I managed to squeeze in some time to check out the touristy spots with my boss and I must say London is beautiful.

LA Tourists

I finally got to be a real tourist of LA! Chris, Jon, Feng and I strapped our cameras around our necks, put on our I <3 LA tees and got on a tour bus to check out the lives of the rich and famous in Beverly Hills. 





 We even caught the Step Up premiere at the Chinese Theatre.
Nothing has beat this sunset so far.
