One More RequestNate and I are flying into Los Angeles. We're staying in the area for a few days to attend a wedding before embarking on a Californian road trip to the redwood forest. We'll loop back down for our flight departing from LAX in early July.
This means we'll have an amazing opportunity to explore the state. Please send along any suggestions for the trip: ecological must-sees, quaint towns with incredible restaurants, the best place to pick up seashells, unique shopping destinations, ...
Thank you!
I'm very jealous of your vacation, but I'd be happy to help you out.

Oh, how exciting! I hope you and Nate have a fantastic time in Cali. I don't think you'll be far enough north for me to recommend any places to you. Norcal is my stomping ground. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you...Lucky girl! I need a vacation too:)))
ReplyDeleteKisses and have a great day sweetie:)
How exciting! Sounds like it's going to be a great trip. What part of LA will you be visiting? You should make a trip to Sprinkles if you like cupcakes and Mastro's is the BEST steakhouse around (both in Beverly Hills). The Malibu and Manhattan beaches are both amazing. There are awesome hikes in Hollywood and in the Palisades. Sushi Roku and Katsuya are my favorite sushi spots. E-mail me if you have specific questions or are looking for a certain type of activity/food.

I love pacific palisades beach and you have to go to aroma and get apiece fo cake in Valley Village- then do a little shopping on Ventura...THEN take a drive through Laurel Canyon and have dinner at Pace!
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten a chance to e-mail you back - I will later on today - but I would love to participate! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a wonderful vacation you have coming up!!! That sounds amazing!! I hope you two have a fantastic time and I think your idea of having guest bloggers is great. Maybe I'll try to cook something up.. but I'm sure you will be beating off guest bloggers with a stick! =)
ReplyDeleteJessica - I've been thinking about this all morning. As someone who is not a native of SoCal and from a quiet place I can give you a blend of everything if you'd like. Let me know what kind of food you like and if there's anything specific you're looking to take in and I'll see what I can do.
ReplyDeletexoxo
um, i'll do the vacation for you! :)

ReplyDeleteI just sent you an email and would love to take part. As for LA you MUST go to the Getty Museum. Amazing architecture and art and a killer view of LA. I hope that you enjoy your visit!xx
ReplyDeleteLike Carole, I'm too far up north to offer any great suggestions, but I just wanted to say that your trip sounds so exciting and I am glad you are making it out to my coast. Have a great time!!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your vacation. I don't know northern cali very well or else i would help you out! Have fun!

Hey! If you'll be up this far North, which I think you will be because of the redwoods, definitely stop in Big Sur and Carmel! definite must-sees/dos!

Oh, and if you go to SF, stop by Tartine Bakery and Cafe if you can. There might be a line out the door, but it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteOn the way from LA to SF, my friend stopped at a house that belonged to an art collector, which has now been turned into a museum. I forget the name...
I found your blog from your comment on mine. It's great! I'm soooo jealous of your California trip!! I'm headed to San Diego at the end of the month but I'd really like to go back to L.A.!
