hollywood again, and a little touchdown in vegas

saad had to go back to los angeles for work again this past weekend so this time my sister and two best friends decided to meet us there from albuquerque. since saad and i had already seen what we wanted to in la on our last trip, we took the backseat when it came to planning on where to go and what to do. i let my sisters do the planning and i'm so glad we did that. we were able to see la in such a different way. we went to the last bookstore and ate in downtown at this open market type place with a lot of different restaurants and bakeries. we walked the beach and hung out at the boardwalk. i've never gotten to travel with my sister and two closest friends this way before so i was so excited. it was even better that saad was with us. getting to hang out with all of my best friends made for the perfect weekend :)

after three days in la, saad and i said our goodbyes to the city of angels, and to the girls. we drove to vegas to spend the next two days there. we stayed at the luxor hotel, which is where we stayed the last time we were there for new years in 2014. it's our favorite place to stay in vegas. we didn't do much at all, just hung out at the hotel and went to the outlets near the strip. it was a relaxing two days before we headed back home.
