First Girl's Trip.... Ever!!

Believe it or not, but I have never been away from my family for any type of vacation. My good friend Leslie heard this and decided that after 13 years, it was time to have a" Girl's Trip." I rightfully agreed, with much pleasure, and we set a date. I can honestly say that it was AMAZING!!! We just went to L.A. for a weekend, but still, I loved every minute of it. I had never been (crazy, I know) but Leslie had; however, she had never been to the places we went, so it worked out perfectly! Thank you so much Leslie for being such a good friend and vacation buddy :)
Our first stop was to Leslie's Aunt Becky's house which she so lovingly let us crash at. Her house is amazing!! The first night we just did a little retail therapy, where Leslie showed me how to really shop :)

The next morning we set out on the town.Can you tell how excited we are?!!?!?

The first stop was the L.A. temple. I had never been there and couldn't believe how massive it was! We saw at least 6 different brides in a matter of like 10 minutes. I can't imagine how busy it was inside!
Next we visited Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive (totally not what we expected at all!). It might seem weird to some, but we literally just drove around and took pictures from the car. What's the point in walking around somewhere where you can't afford anything anyways?!


Does anyone recognize this hotel? Yep, Pretty Woman!!


We thought it was funny that these Orthodox Jews were walking right down the street next to our lunch joint, which was Pink's Hot Dogs! We were going to take a picture of them, but missed due to traffic. Funny thing was that when we turned down some odd street, there they were!! It was so funny that we had to take a picture of the poor guys :)

Here's the famous, original, Pink's.

We waited in line for a little over an hour, short by most day's standards, but it was totally worth it!!
Doesn't this look deeeelicious?!!? It was :)

Our husbands are huge LA Ink fans, (who am I kidding, so am I) so we decided to stop by and take a peek.


It was totally different inside than what I imagined.

On TV it looks huge, but it really isn't. Can you say JEALOUS, Joe?!?!??!

There's a ton more to post about, but I think this one is long enough. Stay tuned :)
