    4 days in LA- itinerary support and LA area hotel

    We aren’t too picky- we love all kinds of food. Mexican Sushi and Asian Italian pizza American burgers steak etc etc My kids are swimmers. They eat A LOT. So, I need a mix of cost factors or I’ll be broke by the end of this trip! For me- I love a great bakery or breakfast joint

    This looks amazing! Saving for the future 😊 I mapped from the garland to the observatory and to studios and it looks fairly centrally located.

    great suggestion! My DH and I drove the PCH from San Fran to San Louis Obispo when he got back from Afghanistan and it was gorgeous. It will be nice to introduce my kiddos to it and I’m a sucker for scenic views. This might affect what we do on each day too so will keep that in mind as I...

    This is very helpful! With the other responses I’m questioning doing universal at all- maybe just doing Warner bros studio tour instead and that enables us to do 2 days at DL and possibly include the vip for a day should I feel spendy in my planning So. Many. Choices!
