We Went to Hollywood!
We finally made it to Los Angeles for a weekend trip! We have lived in California on and off for the last 3 years so it’s hard to believe it took us this long to get to LA. Although neither of us are film or celebrity buffs we decided to start with a trip to…
Jen Came to Visit!
