When Chanelle arrived on Thursday, we wasted no time taking in the sights and sounds of LA. We started our day on Hollywood Boulevard which may be one of the most touristy places in LA but, if you have never been to LA before, you have to go check it out. The closer you get to the Chinese Theatre the crazier the scene becomes but it’s a fun and interesting place to be. Sorta reminds me of the streets of Manhattan with all the people buzzing about but at the same time it is very different from Manhattan as well, I mean after all… it is LA LA land. After our tour of Hollywood Blvd, we went to the Griffith Observatory to check out the amazing panoramic views and catch a show at the planetarium. It’s amazing all the things you can see in LA, as I mentioned before this city seems to be a proverbial melting pot and I love that!
They were setting up for the premiere of The Hangover II while we were on Hollywood Boulevard
We decided to visit Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum
Love me some JT 
Chanelle tried her hand at directing while I got in on the action and almost lost my head lol
After the wax museum we decided to head to Griffith Observatory
Who doesn’t love an impromptu photo shoot?! Glad I have friends who understand my need to take pictures. Chanelle was nice enough to indulge me. If I lived in LA, I’m sure I’d be taking pictures at the Griffith quite often.
Stay tuned for more pictures from my trip to Cali!
