Our flight was great with no problems (long but no problems) and when we got there we literally became the most touristy people EVER..like my camera never left my wrist and Cagle took a picture of a pigeon cause it was in Cali! haha! We we're very excited & got to meet up with Mallory one of our sorority sisters (cagle's big) and someone we were SOO close to and we miss sooo much! It was soo great seeing her & so sweet of her to let us stay there and show us around! When we first got there she was still working so we walked about a mile to Rodeo Drive (now keep in mind we didnt think we would be going straight there...and Cagle was still weaaring bike shorts...hahaha...i think people could tell we weren't from around there!
Rodeo was amazing and we just walked around taking pictures of everything with our mouths open!! Just soo pretty and glamorous! And we are 89% sure we saw T.I. in his limted edition white Rolls Royce convertible! It was a great afteroon and we were ready for anything! ...We got cleaned up and headed to Happy Hour in the Valley (which was really night time to us) and had fun just catching up and eating yummie Italian food! ...after getting back to her apt we were DEAD like crashedddd and then woke up at 5:30 am thinking it was 8:30 and sooo excitedd for our first full day there! haha
We got ready and took a cab to the Kodak Theatre and spent the morning (with a starbucks in hand of course) walking around Hollywood, shopping at little boutiques, & taking it all in!!
me & the girls right in front of the Hollywood sign!!
We did a bunch of shopping and got to see a bunch of the Hollywood stars! And by 1pm (Cali time) we were starvinggg and we headed to Canters Famous Deli (yummmie) where we were total tourists and literally took about 30min to order and our sandwhiches were yummie (and they served pickles as bread?!)
We then headed to Sunset and did some more shopping at some more "funky" shops! This part mad me feel like i was in NY with all the haggling and BS they talk to you...I could deff do without...like leave me alone and let me shop! This is where 3 gay guys in a store dressed me up in skin tight, black pleather, no baack, dress and said that was SOO LA and i had to wear it out...yeaaaa buddy in a million years! hahaahah...soo much fun getting all dressed up though!
That night we headed out and got to get all LA dolled up and had a blast (had one too many drinks) and got to dance around and be crazy! haha ..it was also so nice to meet Mallory's friend Jackie and a fellow DZ Alum at USC! :)
DZ 's at dinner! :)
The next day we headed to Santa Monica and started our adventure with my AMAZINGG and crazy little sister Laura!! We got there and went straight to the Promanade and the Santa Monica pier and got to see a very different side of Cali then LA! hahaha
Pacific Ocean behind us!
We just laid out and finalllly got some time to relax and get ready for more craziness!! The people were interestinggg to say the least but we were sad the water was too cold to even touch with your feet (in our opinion) so we just got a little sun!
me & Cagle being dorks!
That night we got ready and hate a late sushi dinner at this place that gives you free Miso Soup (my new fav chaser) and free ice cream! The sushi was yummie and we had lots of Saki & beer! haha ..Then we headed to Dimples (life changing experience)! It is a karaoke bar with fog, free pictures, free videos, glitter, props, & a stripper pole! hahahah basically ridic and we had sooo much fun!!
Then while we were there we had our first "real" celebrity sighting and yes we did karaoke with him...ladies and gentleman get ready for this...
yesss that's Mr. Belding and he is sooo D list its not even funny!
After our ridic karaoke night we tried to get into another "club" that i won't mention without success so we went to IHOP and ate cinnaminions!...basically i don't think ive laughed the way i did at this meal in foreverrrr! sooo much fun!
Then the next day we ventured to In & Out Burger cause we had heard soo much about it...y'all you let me down! It was a good burger don't get me wrong...but i've DEFF had better and the fries weren't good!! soo that was disappointing but we did get to take this pic on the UCLA campus...
After this we headed to Venice Beach and let me tell you something...I have NEVERRRR felt so normal in my life!! These people were FREAKS like i didn't see a normal person the whole time soooo we just walked around intersted/scared! hahhah ..But deff had a great time walking around and seeing everyone! ...that night we went to a local bar & it was fun but nothing crazy which was prob good cause my body was literally MESSED UP!! like i felt like i wanted to throw up all the time...between the drinking, time change, & no sleep my body was hurting by this point! So we got to experience Del Taco (a place you can get tacos with a side of fries...which was amazing) and just hung out and laughed with the roomies!
The flight home was loooong and we all slept most of the way and we got caught in a bad storm when we got back to ATL but all was good and we got back on the road again & got home safely around 130am and then i had to work at 830am the next day! and on top of that...this was the day my week long sickness started because of all the fun I had! haha...I deff felt like death but the whole time i just laughed when i thought of why I was sick! haha
This post is obviously a fraction of what happened and I could go on for days about all our laughs & people we met but of course you wouldn't wanna ready all that! But all in all the experience was AMAZING and i wouldn't trade it for the world! I got to experience a whole new lifestyle and way of living with 2 of my BEST FREINDS Nicole and Cagle...& had a blast doing so! Maybe my next life I will be from LA but going there makes me realize im exactlyyy where I need to be! I love the East Coast & plan to be here for a while! :) haha
**Katy Perry "Teenage Dream" ...idk whyy I'm completely obsessed with this song! haha
