Thanks and Trip Highlights

Hi everyone-

I have returned from a long weekend with my husband and then business trip in Santa Monica/LA and wanted to say thanks for your help in planning my trip and share some of the highlights for others that are planning their trips.

Things I would highly recommend from my personal trip:

1- Jinky%26#39;s Cafe- they had a great breakfast with numerous healthy options and quick service

2- Santa Monica Farmer%26#39;s Market- this was fun to walk through and buy some fresh fruit for the hotel room

3- Shopping at the Promenade was nice- very casual for the stores that are there- it was a nice experience and we had beautiful weather too

4- Hiking in Temescal Gateway park- do the loop trail- you will have beautiful views of the city and ocean!

5- The Getty- The architecture and gardens are beautiful- we didn%26#39;t even spend much time inside because the weather was so nice

Highlights from the work trip:

1- The Ivy at Lunch- great for celeb watching (and even just paparazzi watching)

2- Mr Chow- great for late night dining and celeb watching

3- The Geffen- I was in town for a red carpet event here and thought the set up at the Geffen was great for performances

Thanks again all!

Thanks for reporting back. So, which celebs, if any, did you see at those spots?

alex- I am a silly US weekly fan so the watching the paparazzi was funny for me :) I dont get to see them in Cinci

I actually saw the best celebs at my Geffen event (Eva Longoria, Brenda Strong, Dana Delaney, the new 90210 star- forget her name) and even got pictures :)

We saw a spanish celeb at the Ivy and Luke Perry at Mr chow- that%26#39;s it but was still fun.

Oh trust me, i love watching those people to when i heading to my clubs in Hollywood. Just think it is so silly, but i guess that%26#39;s what it is all about,lol

Sounds like a great trip, thanks for reporting back! :)
