Pacific Park on Santa Monica Pier.

Over the last two years I have traveled to Los Angeles on three separate occasions. The first visit was for Shyawn's cousin's wedding in October 2011, the second was a girls trip with my mom and sister in July 2012, and the most recent was a trip that Shyawn and I took together in May 2013. Shyawn has several family members that live throughout Los Angeles so I know it is a place that we will visit frequently throughout our lifetime. Over the course of these three trips I have visited many wonderful sights, all of which will be described below:
- Santa Monica
- Griffith Observatory
- Getty Center
- Venice Beach
- Hollywood Farmer's Market
- Hollywood
- Mulholland Drive
- La Brea Tar Pits
- The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens
- Pasadena
- The Gamble House
- Huntington Beach
- Disneyland
- Six Flags Magic Mountain
Additionally, I also have an entry on the many restaurants I've eaten at in Los Angeles
here.
Santa Monica:
The lovely town of Santa Monica is one of my favorite cities in Los Angeles. It is clean, walkable, alluring, charming, offers plenty of choices for restaurants, and is located close to the ocean. I love how its streets are filled with a seamless mixture of old and new architecture. In addition to its quaint downtown area, which holds a great farmer's market on both Wednesday and Saturday mornings, Santa Monica also offers visitors a beautiful
beach and the ever-popular
Santa Monica Pier. The 3.5 miles of wide and expansive beaches in Santa Monica are some of the best in the area for both visitors and locals alike and offers tons of activities including biking, volleyball, surfing, fishing, as well as the obvious swimming. The Santa Monica Pier should be on every visitor's itinerary as it offers something for nearly everyone: an amusement park, shopping, eating, drinking, and great opportunities for people watching.
