25 Best Things to Do in Los Angeles 2018
Los Angeles is a fun city to visit, whether you are planning a quick weekend getaway or a longer vacation. From world-class museums and attractions to unique activities and restaurants, there is plenty to see and do. Go on thrilling rides inspired by your favorite movies at Universal Studios Hollywood, spend a romantic evening at Griffith Observatory, stroll through the Farmers Market and relax at natural hot springs. If you decide to spend an afternoon relaxing in the sun, Southern California’s sandy beaches are not far away. http://vacationidea.com/california/best-romantic-things-to-do-in-los-angeles.html
Throughout the summer break, please check this self-care website as we add more self-care information.
May this final week of the semester go smoothly, and may you have a wonderful summer filled with self-care!
Warmly,
Shari and Carolyn
