Such pretty pictures!
I visited the farmers market on my trip to LA and loved it there, it's so cute!

It's so cool and I love that it's right in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the world. Just a reminder of how the earth has changed!I loved the La Brea Tar Pits when we went. I still find it amusing what the name actually means.
Thanks friend!Such pretty pictures!

Yay welcome back!! I'm so glad fate allowed us to connect once again.I'm thrilled I spotted your report as I loved your last one! I'm excited to read about your ABD adventure!
We had such a good time in LA. There's so much to do (and EAT) and the weather was beautiful. And yes our guides definitely had a fun time with the group (spoiler alert ). You'll just have to stay tuned to find out how!It sounds like you were off to a great start in L.A.! The studio tour looked like great fun (I especially appreciated the Harry Potter items). Your tour guides look very fun and enthusiastic so hopefully that will translate into a fun time with the group. I'm excited to hear more!
The guides were definitely friendly and welcoming, it wasn't just looks! We had a great time with them.Your ABD guides looks so friendly and welcoming!
The tar pits look really cool!
I just stared at Lorde. She was mesmerizing. And also pretty tall. I can't even imagine how pretty she is in real life.Sounds like a great first dinner with the crew! Love the pins you got!
You found so many Disney stars! And hey, while in LA I feel like you have to do at LEAST one stereotypical tourist thing and Madame Tussauds looked fun! Wow, Lorde really does look super real!
The awesome thing is they're free and pretty close to other stuff so if you get there and turns out you don't like it just leave! No time or money wasted. I thought it was neat but I love science and science-y things so it was right up my alley.The La Brea Tar Pits seem like one of those things that I'd not be interested in prior to going but then once I was there I'd think it was interesting.
Yeah I would probably agree. If you do go, make sure to buy tickets online. It's literally twice the cost to buy them at the door. We got to the door and realized that, stepped out of line (there was no line but we got out of the way), bought them on our phones, then got back in line. Saved us like $40.I have a feeling they are all pretty similar though plus or minus a few celebrity wax figures so I don't know that I'd go out of my way to do the one in LA.
I seriously thought it was going to move at some point because it looked so real.Although, that Lorde one IS crazy realistic!
It was fun! We wanted it to be pretty low-stress so that we could start the ABD off with lots of rest and energy and I think we accomplished thatWhat a fun day! Looks like you made the most of it .
Let's be honest that was the best part of the dinnerIt was nice you got the can of Coke, too.
It's definitely what you make of it! And it's not for everyone but we had a nice timeI've never had the desire to visit a Madame Tussaud's museum but you sure make it look fun!
Right?? I actually just saw a Buzzfeed article talking about how no one can get Beyonce's wax figure right hahahaWhat a great start to your trip! That poor Beyoncé looks more than a little wonky though.
Awkward people unite! (But from across the room while we quietly scroll through our phones)Your description of waiting for your opening dinner is literally my life lol. I hate ice breaker questions and am painfully awkward at meeting people .
Haha yes Lisa Frank!! The absolute queen of school supplies.Pretty sure that 90s room could've been my childhood bedroom! My best friend's daughter told me the other day that she has a Lisa Frank folder this year and my 90s heart was very happy about it.
They also gave out the first of the pin of the day! I actually didn’t know that they did a pin every day so that made me super excited.
He told me unfortunately that I would have to drink the Coke there and couldn’t take it with me.
Sorry to play that cruel joke on you with the title. Did anyone out there think I actually saw Beyonce?
Yeah I was pumped for that! And Jon doesn't care about pins so I got doubleSo cool they give out special pins!
Right??? The funny thing is I don't know if I ever drank it....I was so surprised to read that they wouldn’t let you take a Coke given the cost of ABD
ScoreYES! It’s LA after all. You got me
