So I know I said I wasnt going to go to the Warner Brothers Tour today, but when I went to book last night, spots had opened up for today, so I managed to go. It was so much fun. They took us on a tour of the backlot of the studios, where we got to see lots of where Pretty Little Liars and True Blood was being shot. None of that actually meant anything to me, but we also saw some spots where outdoor scenes of Friends were shot, including where Rachel and Phoebe go running, where Ross plays rugby and where Rachel and Monica meet Jean Claude Van Dame. We also went inside the Gellars house and saw the staurcase Ross comes down to try to take Rachel to the prom, and the kitchen ... read more

Today I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain! I wont really go into too much detail about today, because if I sat here describing every rollercoaster I went on, I would be here forever. When I arrived at the park I went to get my Platinum Flash Pass. Basically what this does is you can cut most of the line, and you can ride most rides twice in a row. It was well worth it if you are a ride fanatic. All in all I managed 22 rollercoasters: Tatsu(x2), Viper(x3), Revolution, Goliath(x4), Batman(x4), Scream!(x2), Ridler's Revenge(x2), Goldrush, Colossus, X2 and Green Lantern. Some of these rides were so different to others I've been on. For example, Ridler's Revenge is a stand up rollercoasrer, and Tatsu has you on your stomach, going face first (like superman would ... read more

I have so many trips possibly coming up and am so excited about them all I really want a way to remember them all! (As if I don't take enough pictures and have enough scrap books piling up) It looks like next week I'll be heading from LA down to San Diego to work with one of my favorite photographers. I most likely won't be staying this trip, but always love the drive and finding an amazing place to eat after work! The week after that I'll be heading to Vegas for a week of work and fun! I hope to spend time hiking and exploring at Red Rock Canyon -which is always one of my favorite things to do, going to the Hoover Dam, and possibly exploring Lake Mead. After Vegas I'll be home for ... read more

My first impression of LA was smoggy and dirty. In contrast to San Francisco, LA seemed like a ghetto and dangerous place to live in. Iconic Hollywood sign was not that impressive as well. Beverly Hills had a grandeur mansions but I had seen better big mansions in Maryland. Standing right next to the palm tree felt like I was in a foreign country.... read more

Our drive from Las Vegas to California was very scenic and at one point we drove through clouds as we crossed the mountains. Darise said it looked like we were in Heaven. It was a peaceful and beautiful moment. Soon after, we were in Los Angeles and were thrilled when we saw the Hollywood sign in the hills. We felt instantly famous and were waiting to be discovered. The next day, a dream came true for Darise as we were on The Price is Right. We didn’t get called down, but we did a lot of cheering and clapping. We were the last to leave the studio so we decided to go to contestant’s row. There we were; all four of us lined up making imaginary bids. It was fun and even the announcer, George Gray, ... read more
