How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

California Girls!

in Travel on 09/14/17

Hurray for Hollywood….dah dah dah dah Hollywood.

Palm trees, sunny skies, bright lights and the land of movie stars.

Yup, I’m packing my bags, singing a song, and headed for LA Baby.  I’m waaayyy over packed.  This is what happens when you have a crazy week, you pack all the things.  But I must be prepared!  My youngest and I are headed out on a wee adventure, we will be taking in as many sites as we can, doing all the touristy things AND celebrating that sweet girls 16th Birthday in style.  Woot!  This is my kind of Birthday celebration.  Big plans…we have BIG PLANS!

Here’s a sneak peek of the pool at our fabulous hotel.  Must not forget to pack the bathing suit!

Be sure to follow all the fun as we check into the simply gorgeous Kimpton Hotel Wilshire Hotel , said to be a little slice of heaven along L.A.’s Miracle Mile, and find all the fun this city has to offer.  ( I promise there will be lots of posting along the way!) As always you can find me on Twitter at @SassyModernMom, on Instagram here and Facebook here.

Take care of each other while I’m gone!

Mwah!

      Never been to California – a trip to wine vineyards has always been a fascination for me. Time to Travel ! Old man winter has arrived.

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
