The other day I was booking tickets out to LA for the second time this year, and realized I'd never put up any photos for my first trip!

I made the trip out west for my friend Morgan's bachelorette party back in May, and stayed another week to spend some time with family and a friend from college. It was my second trip out to LA as a tourist, and I'm amazed at how much I still haven't seen of this city. While there were a few pitfalls in this trip (read: lost purse at Disneyland, and being sick for the first few days), I still had a blast.

Here are the highlights:

• Disneyland! Churros! Cinderella's Castle! We went on possibly the worst day (the day the park is open for 24 hours), but there's something gratifying about waiting in line for several hours and finally getting on Space Mountain at 3am.

• On the second day of Morgan's bachelorette weekend, we got into the swankiest rooftop party at Skybar. It was everything you'd imagine an LA party to be. A pool, fancy drinks, and the best views of the city.
• Dancing at Circus Disco (I'll let you find out more about that place on your own)

• Seeing Almost Famous for the first time at Cinespia - an event where you can picnic as the screen movies in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Cameron Crowe was even there!
• Reuniting with Bethany, my friend from college and meeting her awesome boyfriend Eric. Also meeting their two crazy kitties. 

• Exploring the Scientology compound. Quite possibly one of the weirdest places I've ever been. 
• Brunch at Square One. I'm still dreaming of that french toast!
• Spending $30 on candy at the new SockerBit LA. And trust me, I could have spent so much more.
