Trip to LA (with Amitesh and family)

First Day- On the first day, we went in the car for 1.5 hours before we stopped to get snacks. Then we rode for some more time before we stopped at Pismo Beach. It was really nice, and we also got to experience an Italian restaurant in the area. After some more time in the car, we went to another beach, and I almost got attacked by a seagull in this beach! We then arrived at the hotel after some time and waited for some time while we checked in. Later, we went to Trader Joe's to get ingredients and later went to a Thai restaurant.


Second/Third Days- These were the days we went to Universal Studios and it was really fun. On both days I got ready and then ate a wonderful breakfast. After we parked in the ET parking area at Universal, we went through CityWalk. It had a lot of different stores, was very colorful and unique, and even had its own theater. My favorite ride was the Mummy, which had many scary features and twists and turns. Even though I got lost at times, I finally met up with Amitesh at the end. We ate at Mel's Diner for the second day's lunch, and Hollywood and Dine for the third day's lunch. The rides we went on included the Harry Potter rides, Minion Mayhem, the Simpson's ride, and the Jurrasic Park ride. Moreover, the shows were amazing as well, which included Animal Actors, Water World, the Special Effects show, and the Studio Tour. For dinner, we went to Scaractino's on the second and Badmaash on the third day.

Last Day- After we checked out of the hotel on the last day, we went to a Malibu Temple, which had many shrines for different gods. We then rode for another 2 hours before stopping at Solvang, which was an interesting experience. All of us explored the streets before we stopped for lunch (sandwiches and ice cream). There were a lot of ice cream stores, bakeries, and restaurants in Solvang. In fact, they even had free tasting rooms! Soon after that, we stopped at Pismo beach once again, where we relaxed and rested. Finally, we stopped again at Starbucks before we reached San Jose.
