If hiking Griffith Park was my favorite part of visiting LA, going around the other touristy spots in Hollywood was my least favorite, which is probably why it’s taken me so long to get to this. I think it was because it reminded me so much of the crushing crowds of Times Square, minus the exciting billboards. Luckily, it was saved by the best proper meal we had the entire vacation at a lovely restaurant called République.
Hiking Griffith Park was, for me, the highlight of visiting LA (not including Santa Monica). Hiking there was so different from my hiking experiences in the East Coast. It really made me ponder the idea that you could use up your vacations just in the United States for a few years and still have more to explore after that.
Long walks on Palisades Park and Venice Beach, plus reviews of DK’s Donuts, Rori’s Artisanal Creamery, Seoul Sausage Company, and Gjelina.
Day 1 of our 2016 trip to LA/Santa Monica. Featuring Misfit Restaurant, Tar & Roses, & Santa Monica pier.
This is a real, climbing-over-rocks, sweat-pouring-out-of-you kind of hike. Especially if you do the labyrinth section, which is an entire section of combined rock-scrambling and spelunking.
This place is gorgeous, and is perfect for both avid hikers or people just looking to hang out by the lake. There’s a parking lot that’s right near a picnic area, a food truck, and a lovely view of the lake. It has miles and miles of trails for you to enjoy.
Biked around Oak Bluffs and Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard. Had some amazing ice cream and a white chocolate hazelnut latte to die for.
Fried clams at PJ’s Family Restaurant, hiking the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail, hanging out at Marconi Beach, and sweets from Chequesett Chocolate and Sweet Escape.
Dinner at Tumi Peruvian Italian Kitchen, hiking Crow’s Pasture Trail at East Dennis, and ice cream at Cape Cod Creamery.

By the time we got to St. Maarten on our Eastern Caribbean cruise, we were already quite content with all the adventures we’d been on, so luckily I had planned to just go around the island on our own, without…
If I were to pick a place to come back to in the Caribbean at some point for a long, relaxing stay, it would probably be Antigua (pronounced an-tee-ga by most of the natives we ran into). At this point…
