About -Los Angeles
I have only been to Los Angeles a few times and it has always been to visit friends. As a result, I have never done anything touristy there (other than check out Muscle Beach in Venice). We have done some great hikes and had some awesome meals though.
LA has a very chill vibe and you just can’t beat the weather. I am going again in March with my kids and hope this time to check out some of the more famous landmarks. I will keep you posted!
