Los Angeles, Day 3 and 4

Sunday morning we woke up and treated ourselves to massages at the Bliss Spa inside the W. I think Jon was just excited about spending an hour and a half that morning without me jabbering on  relaxing, and I was certainly ready to be pampered!

After the star treatment, we headed to the Hollywood Farmer's. Lucky for us this market only opens on Sundays, and was directly behind our hotel! We spent about an hour admiring the beautiful flowers, fruits, veggies, and gift, and even picked up some lunch to enjoy in our hotel room. Gaucamole in LA = yummy.

That afternoon, after some strong convincing on my part, we boarded a celebrity homes tour. Ok, classy? Maybe not. But interesting? for sure. We spent the next 2 and a half hours dreaming about our future millionaire lives in Beverly Hills. Watch out LA, here we come.

Michael Jackson's gate where Conrad Murray called the police. RIP MJ.
Over the course of day 3 we also racked up the most celebrity sightings. So many that we had to develop a code so the other person would notice ("I have a headache" really where? "right side" or "left side"). Yea we are those people.

Those celebrities included Kevin Alejandro (True Blood), Nick Swardson, some Basketball Player - all within an arm's reach of us (and most just walking down the street, so keep your eyes peeled!).

That night we had dinner at Fig & Olive and headed to back early to pack and savor every last minute we had at our new favorite hotel, the W Hollywood.

Monday morning came all too quickly and we deceided to walk down Hollywood Boulevard before heading to LAX. I was so sad to leave but happy we got to see Hollywood & Highland, The Kodak Theatre and, of course, Dumbledore one last time.


One last picture under the Kodak Sign!
 As we boarded the plane all we kept saying was "we must come back soon!" And that was the end of our amazing vacation!
