a day in los angeles

while on spring break in april kimberly, morgan and brylee came to california from byu idaho. brett and his friend cade also came along too. we also had cousins justin and tiffany join us as well! we decided to do some touristy things in la. we hit up the girffith observatory and caught some awesome views of the city. then we hiked up to the hollywood sign. it was hot. it was long. and in my opinion it wasn't really worth it. i think the view of the sign from the trailhead was satisfying enough! then we went to pink's hot dogs. it was good, but very heavy. definitely something i wanted to try, but a little too much of a gut bomb for me. it was fun to try it though and see what all the fuss was about! we also hit up venice beach and hollywood blvd. it was a long day, but super fun!

we started at the griffith observatory...

mom, dad and jack come to visit

having mom, dad and jack come to visit was so nice! it felt so great to have family in town and to just be around them. since dad loves to hike, we took them for a nice hike in red rock canyon. it was great!
