I love Los Angeles because California Girl has the best ideas for daily adventures. This was The Husband’s first visit, so there was a lot of ground to cover in three days. Here are some of the highlights of what we saw and what we did.

Griffith Observatory

Griffith Observatory — Took in the night views

Griffith Observatory — Raced through the exhibits at closing time

Griffith Park

griffith park — Climbed switchbacks

view from giffith park — Took in the views

griffith park — Risked dangerous animals

amir's garden — Lost track of time in hidden gardens

griffith park — And on vibrant pathways

allen's hummingbird — Observed wildlife great (Allen’s Hummingbird)

honey bee — And wildlife small

Did I mention the views?

Little Tokyo

paper art — Found treasures like this handmade 3-D paper art

We couldn’t leave California without heading to the beach, so our last day was all about the ocean.

Santa Monica

Santa Monica — Saw the future, it is in a Santa Monica parking ramp

sailboats — Were on the Santa Monica Pier before the fog cleared

fishing poles — Just us and the fishermen

santa monica pier — Then suddenly, it was clear

magician — Took in a street performance (SPOILER ALERT, he did get all the eggs into the cups)

Pacific Ocean — Splashed in the Pacific Ocean

santa monica promenade — And then walked the streets with dinosaurs

There was just time to drive to Malibu before heading for home

malibu — Cue the M*A*S*H theme song

More of our adventures to come….
