Our friends Lindsey and Jason invited us to spend President's Day weekend in Southern California. Lindsey had free tickets to Disneyland and we have always wanted to visit LA, so we decided to take a road trip and visit both places. After a six hour car ride through farmland and orchards, past coyotes and tumbleweeds, we were excited to drive through beautiful mountains into the civilization of Los Angeles!

In LA we stayed at the Best Western on Sunset Boulevard. It was a cute hotel built on the side of a hill with a helpful concierge, welcoming pool, and free breakfast. Our decision to stay there was based mostly on location. It was within walking distance of a great selection of restaurants, including one we were very excited about called Saddle Ranch. Our first step in the LA tour was to get lunch, so we headed across the street to this western saloon inspired restaurant and sports bar. It had a mechanical bull, huge burgers, and gigantic desserts, including a three foot high tower of cotton candy. We didn't ride the bull but were fully entertained by those who did!

After eating at Saddle Ranch, we took a bus to get to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I sat next to man's plant, which had its own seat. He proceeded to talk to me about his plant. This was a very interesting introductions to the people of LA! We walked a little farther to reach the sights worth seeing on Hollywood Blvd. We walked the entire length of the Hollywood Walk of Fame to find the stars of all of our favorite celebrities.
