LOS ANGELES, CA

We spent an unexpected 6 nights (!!!) in LA... We anticipated to spend just 3 nights but we had so much fun that we extended our time there. We were lucky to be able to stay with Michael's friend at his amazing home in Beverly Hills (maybe why it was so hard to leave!?) but also the weather was fabulous and we were able to hike and be outdoors every single day. It was sunny and in the 80s every day, quite possibly the consistently best weather we have had during our whole trip! We also were able to visit with some of Michael's family so it was nice for me to meet them and for him to catch up with them! Of course we had some amazing meals (pretty much every single one) at some of the best restaurants in LA. Another highlight of the trip was going to the We Can Survive Benefit Concert at the Hollywood Bowl with featured artists Demi Lovato, 5 Seconds of Summer, Sam Smith, Maroon 5, Calvin Harris, Nick Jonas, Rihanna, and the Weeknd. We got these tickets courtesy of Michael's best friend from college, Rich, who was in LA for the weekend also (a very exciting surprise for us!!) We were able to spend quite a bit of time with Rich so it was fun for us to see him and catch up with him! All in all a really fabulous week... the only thing we didn't love in LA... THE TRAFFIC! Oh and a most exciting celebrity spotting... Gavin Rossdale & kids!
