Anniversary trip to Los Angeles

Jason and I went to Los Angeles for our 10 year anniversary trip and it was SO much fun. I had the best time planning everything and we were able to fit so much in to just four days. I’ll share everything we did, and what we would do differently next time. The reason we picked LA is a) because Jason had never been, b) Westjet now flies direct to LA from Winnipeg so no waisted time on layovers and c) there is SO much to do! My parents were able to watch the girls, and they barely even missed us. It made it easier to enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands and having fun with their cousins. Our favourite areas were Huntington Beach & Newport Beach. We liked staying in WEHO so that we were close to the hikes I wanted to do and we were closer to Malibu for dinner, but staying right in LA we probably wouldn’t do again. The traffic just gets pretty bad. We were also very underwhelmed by Santa Monica/Venice Beach. I would not go back. They felt very touristy and a little dirty. If you have to pick one beach I’d stick to the Huntington Beach area. Malibu also has beautiful beaches with cliffs if you have time to drive up and see them! All of the details are below. Send me a DM if you have any questions about our trip!
