California Dreaming

For a while now, I have been California Dreaming as if I was a backup singer in Mamas And The Papas famous song "California Dreaming." The funny part was that I had never visited California, but felt in my heart I knew how it would be. Last week, I had the opportunity to visit an old college roomie in LA with two other college buddies.

This experience was amazing. Our trip was very eventful from spending time on the beach taking selfies, getting stuck in rush hour, going to the California African-American Museum, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Staples Center, Hollywood, Hollywood Walk of Fame, The Grove, Sprinkles Cupcakes, Warner Brothers Studios, and then back to Jersey.

Check out what we did below:
