LA Livin' and Lovin' Day 1 - Emily

Sorry we are just now blogging, we've been doing so much and having so much fun! We met in West Hollywood on Friday night - I will let mom tell you all about her misadventures with her travel - and I got in after midnight so we just caught up and went to bed. We stayed at the Palomar in West Hollywood Friday and let me just say...wow. We've had amazing accommodations so far. Well it's safe to say I am in love with LA, specifically the West Hollywood and Beverly Hills areas. It's so very clean and just absolutely gorgeous. We went to The Grove on Saturday Morning which just so happens to be next to the CBS LA Broadcast Center and Studios which was really neat to see. The Grove is also where Extra films from on weekdays, it's this beautiful outside shopping space that's nicer than the Boardwalk for those of you in the Minden area. And as mom said it's not as hot and you can enjoy it. From there we ventured around Beverly Hills, stopping at the famous Beverly Hills sign and walking Rodeo. I'm not sure if it's because I live in New York and once worked on 5th Ave amongst all the designer stores but it just wasn't as glamorous as I thought it would be from scenes in Pretty Woman! We also went to the Grauman's Chinese Theater and saw the Walk of Fame in Hollywood and saw the Hollywood sign! All in all a great day in LA on Saturday. Wouldn't be surprised if I try to convince my friends to escape the cold winters of NYC for the beautiful Southern California weather soon. :) We are running to the Warner Bros Studio Tour right now (can ANYONE believe we are early?) and will post lots more when we are done! P.S. set your DVRs for Jimmy Kimmel tonight, we are going to the taping today! Emily
