  1. Grab an In-n-Out burger. No trip to the West Coast would be complete without thisin-n-out-3.jpg
  2. Check out the Hollywood Sign. If you don’t have time to do the hike (or you’re not physically prepared), Lake Hollywood Park has a pretty good vantage point

  3. Look for your favorite celebrity’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. While there, check out the TCL Chinese Theater too

Although my trip to LA was super short (2.5 days to be exact), we were still able to pack in a lot. There are still a lot of other things I didn’t get to do (I’m looking at you, Griffith Observatory), so I’ll definitely need to be a return trip one day soon!
