Sara & Alex
Things To Do
Disneyland
Celebrate our love of movies, music, and snacks. This is the perfect time of year for short lines and good weather. The corn dogs are a must!
Universal Studios Hollywood
Harry Potter! Simpsons! Jurassic Park! Minions..! And all 10 minutes from our house!
Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden
Sara's favorite place in the city. AND (best part) it's a peacock conservation! Literally peacocks just walk by you as your stroll the grounds.
Griffith Observatory
Scenic views of the city, the observatory itself is free to enter as are the grounds. Great photo opp of the Hollywood sign. Hiking trails are excellent. And this is where Alex proposed!
Venice Beach
The Abbot Kinney strip has great food and shopping, the Venice canals are cool to check out as well. If you'd like a cleaner beach there's Malibu and Manhattan Beach as well. Just don't go to Santa Monica (shudders).
The Grove
LA staple for food and shopping. Check out the Farmers Market connected to the Grove for great diverse dining options. Alex tip: "Bob's Donuts. Best in LA. I saw Jay-Z there once."
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Art museum right in the middle of the city, between Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Less than 5 minutes from the Grove if you want to make a day of it.
Hollywood Walk Of Fame
Yes, it's a tourist trap. But it's fun to check out Grauman's if you haven't, and see where the Oscars are held. Jimmy Kimmel is across the street too if you'd like to check out a taping! Alex tip: "Watch out for urine."
