California Dreaming: Los Angeles
Venice Beach view
It has been a year since I went to Los Angeles, almost as long since I intended to blog about it but I didn’t quite find the time, hopefully I can remember all of the important details! Those that know me, know that I love basketball so this trip was super special as I visited my cousin who plays professional basketball, met up with friends from New York and it was the NBA’s All Star Weekend; the glitziest break from the regular season where East meets West and the league’s best and favourite players come together rather than play against each other. It was a brilliant 10 days, we packed in so much and I would love to go back to explore more of what LA has to offer so hopefully I can go back there soon! This is a great place to honeymoon too, if you are looking for some inspiration. The sunshine and blue skies felt so good especially as UK skies were so grey and snowy! Here are some of my highlights:
