Whole Wheat Flowers

Good evening loves!

I'm back for another delayed post. I'll be sharing our short spontaneous trip to Los Angeles last spring. This time we decided to rent a car so we can have our time to ourselves and explore more of the city. On our previous trips we were always accompanied by my relatives. It was not bad at all but we thought it was an opportunity to really get out there and experience Los Angeles at least for the two of us. We flew, as always, and we were there for Memorial Weekend so the traffic was triple or probably worst (What is the worst day or holiday to be in Los Angeles?)

Reno, Nevada

It was a such a snowy morning when we left Reno. The road condition was slushy and wet. I felt guilty because I was too confident that we could leave thirty minutes before our flight from Carson city. And I kid you not when we got to the check-in counter, the lady was like,

"I'm sorry you have to be here fourty-five minutes before your flight. May I ask what's the reason for being late?".

Of course I had to make up something so I replied to her,

"We're really sorry but there was an accident in Summit area because of snow. We had to make a detour."

And so, we were able to get on to the next flight for F R E E. Yes, my husband was so angry at me but all was well. I was forgiven.

FIRST DAY: Arriving in L.A.

Los Angeles, California

View of L.A. from Griffith Observatory

Unfortunately, we weren't able to do so much on our first day. We arrived at the airport around noon and went straight to Alamo Rental Car. The good thing about LAX is the rental cars are around the airport and there's a bus that will take you for free. It took us two hours to do all the paper works (~~worst part of the trip so far~~). It was packed with tourists. By the time we left rental shop, we had our lunch at the Bao Dim Sum House. The food was very delicious and pricey (what do you expect it's LA, right?).

After lunch, we went to Griffith Observatory and spent most of our day before we head to Santa Clarita to visit my relatives. It was a fine day at the observatory not so much people and parking was not that bad. It was bearable and so was the traffic going to Santa Clarita.
