Spranggg Breakkk

Monday:

For spring break, my mom and I are going to California to see my cousin. I didn't realize that I haven't seen him in 9 years! I only have two first cousins and they are both around my sister's age so 28, 30, and 34. This means that I've always been the baby so we've always been at such different stages in our lives. Today we flew to LA and checked into the hotel. We're walking around our hotel on Hollywood Blvd. pretty sketchy!!

Tuesday: 

Today we went on a 7 hour tour around LA. We went to Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and the historical district of LA. It was really fun and interesting to see all of the city and all of its different cultures. LA is so huge! My favorite part of the tour was the historical district called El Pueblo. It was so cute and I loved seeing the oldest Catholic Church in LA! There was also a little firefighter museum. Did you know horses used to pull fire trucks?! So cool!

Wednesday: 

Today was my favorite day. We went on a tour of Warner Brothers studios and got to see sound stages, prop houses, costume museum, and so many other things. The entertainment industry is so interesting. We also say Central Perk from friends and got to hang out in there for awhile!! Then we went to The Grove which is a big outdoor shopping area and farmers market. It was so pretty and quiet and clean. It was so refreshing. Next, we went to a taping of Jimmy Kimmel. It was so cool! We got to see Jeremy Piven from Entourage and Zoe Kravitz, an actress and daughter of Lenny Kravitz. It was interesting to see a live taping of a show. Jimmy is hilarious. 

Thursday: 

We have to go home today :( I don't want to leave this beautiful place! For a minute I thought that it was summer but then reality hit. We have spent 8 hours at the airports total because our flights were delayed. Didn't get home until 11 and I'm exhausted! 

Friday: 

One of the last days of spring break and I'm starting to freak out. I don't want to go back to Moscow or school because I want summer so badly. I'm depressed. Give me warm weather and no school!
