One month ago today Jon and I were just begining our first big trip together. That was not the only reason it was significant though, it was also the first time he had been past Tennessee!
We arrived in LA at 12 AM on Thursday, and headed straight to a Holiday Inn near the airport to get some sleep and adjust to the time change. The next morning we anxiously woke up at 8AM and hailed a cab to the W Hollywood, where we would be living the remainder of our trip.
After checking in and admiring our amazing hotel room, we headed down Hollywood Boulevard to kill some time before our Warner Brothers tour at 11. Let me tell you, Hollywood Boulevard is quite the sight. So much hollywood history, mixed with so many weirdos.

Two spiderman spottings and one Dumbledore later, it was finally time to head to Warner Brothers. This was such a hightlight for us. Not only did we get to go behind the scenes of Warner Brothers, but we even got to sit on some history and take a picture in Central Perk! Not to mention, pass Ashton Kutcher on the way out.
That afternoon Jon wanted a nap so I headed off to Robertson Blvd do so some shopping. Imagine my suprise when I received a call from Jon to tell me the manager of the W had sent us a welcoming gift: wine, fruit, chocolate cake and a nice note! If I hadnt already fallen in love with the W Hollywood, that certainly sealed the deal.
I returned to our temporary home to see our gift and get ready for dinner at Katsuya. Oh.My.God. Talk about delicious. Seriously, go there.
After two cucumber watermelon mojitos and delicious sushi, we headed off to the Upright Citizens Brigade theatre to see a improv comedy show. This was something a friend of mine had suggested, and another highlight for us. For about 20 dollars we both got tickets on the stage, and enjoyed over an hour of hilarious improv. Another nice part about this is they sometimes have celebritys show up, and we were lucky enough to be there when one of the actors from "The League" was preforming.
We walked home that night and crawled into bed after a successful first day in LA, stay tuned for day 2 later today!
