Los Angeles; Golden California Girl

Before we would leave the golden state California we made our last stop in Los Angeles.
We spend our last days in the hills of Hollywood;
walking on the walk of fame, window shopping in Rodeo Drive and for real in Melrose Avenue,
went free to a premiere of a movie and spotted even some stars.
For one moment I really felt like a golden California girl ;).



And on our last night we met up with Christine from Tie Me A Bow.
She shows us around in her city and we had delicious Korean BBQ dinner. 

It was nice to meet her and much fun!

We are now on our way to our next destination…
soon more about it.

Life On The South Coast Road

After spending a few days in San Francisco it was already time to leave this city.
I had my ups and down in this city with all the hills.
The last three days I had a better workout walking through the city than this whole year at the gym!
..
Yesterday our road trip continued, we drove further to our last destination in the states; Los Angeles.
On our way we had an amazing view of the south coast of the States from highway one.
With a few stops on the road, we now finally arrived in LA!
Tomorrow it’s time to explore this city and her treasures for us.

Sheer And See Through

For months I’m looking for the perfect see through skirt.
Since the very first time I saw this trend it was love at first sight.
I still haven’t succeeded my search yet!
..
Before I knew it, a great idea popped in my head this weekend.
Do you remember the flowy violet maxi dress I wore a few weeks ago?
I made the underskirt shorter and voila; meet my new sheer and see through maxi dress.
..
The perfect outfit for my day in the Great Grand Canyon.

Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada

Gambling, partying, shopping were all the things I did the first two days in Fabulous Las Vegas.
There was never a dull moment!
After walking a good whole day at the strip of Las Vegas, I have seen the whole world.
Every single hotel has a theme and many great attractions!
From Paris to Egypt to Rome and all the way back to New York.
..
Tomorrow we’re going to spend the day in the Grand Canyon and then it is already time to leave the city of sin.

Life Is Sweet

After a good three days visit in Chicago, we’re now heading to Mount Rushmore.
On our way we had a few stops, for example in Le Mars – where life is sweet.
Le Mars is also known as the ‘Ice Cream Capital of the World’.
And of course we couldn’t resist trying the ice cream there. So we had one giant scoop of Strawberry Cheesecake and another giant scoop of Brownie Fudge Fantasy.
We could definitely agree that life in Le Mars is indeed very sweet.

Before the day turned into night, we had one more stop in The Badland National Park.
Where these photos are taken.
And believe me when I say, the view was breath taken.
It could definitely be a set of an amazing nature movie.

Let The Wind Blow You Away

This morning when I woke up, the sun was shining.
After breakfast we went to mount Baldy in Michigan City, a big sand dune.
And with big, I mean really big!
..
From this sand dune you have an amazing view of Lake Michigan.
And when you look really good, you could see Chicago on the other side.
..
After a hour or two, we were finally ready to drive further to Chicago, our destination.
Known as the windy city.
Tomorrow a new day, in a new city, with more and more adventures.

City Travel; Washington DC And New York City

After becoming one with nature, it was time to socialize with the people in the city again.
We started in Washington DC, the capital city of the USA.
We visited a lot of monuments, all over the city.
And of course we could not leave Washington DC, without visiting the White house. And before we knew it, we saw Michelle Obama passing by.
There was another surprise waiting for us.
We got free tickets to visit the backyards of the White house.
Here we had a really close look at the house. It was surprisingly small and very white.
It was a day full of unexpected moments.

In Washington DC we learned a lot about the history of the United States. There is a well known sentence: E Pluribus Unum; out of many, one.

And the Big Apple, our next stop is for sure one out of many.
It was our last minute decision to come to the city that never sleeps.
There are so many things to do and we had just two days ahead of us.
The days were filled with all the things we wanted to see and do.
We took the ferry to Staten Island, to see the Statue Of Liberty. Walking from financial disrict to Soho and the way back to Fifth Avenue. We had bubble tea in China town and before we knew it we decided to have a new haircut there as well.

In Brooklyn we had a good sushi lunch. Grand central station and Rockafeller Center were also on our “to do list”.
When the sun was under, we walked over the Manhattan Bridge, to see the skyline of New York by night. And took the subway to The Times Square for a really good New York Style cheesecake.

Now we just have a few hours left and then it is already time to leave this amazing city.
