Allen plans a special Father Daughter trip with each of our daughters for their 14th birthday. This year was Kate’s turn. Kate is our special Guest Blogger today as she recounts her trip!
My birthday present for 2018 and my 14th birthday was a trip to Burbank, California with my dad!
Trip Hollywood Day 1:
After we arrived and dropped off our things at the hotel we were off! First we headed to a secret stop at Unique Vintage headquarters. Unique Vintage is Ellie’s new favorite store so we thought we should stop there and pick something up for her!
After that we drove to the Santa Monica Pier. While we were there we looked for keychains and successfully found 5 of them! After shopping for keychains we had lunch. I had pizza and dad had a quesadilla!
Moving only a couple of miles down the beach we went to Venice Beach or Muscle Beach. There we found 4 more keychains and a pair of sunglasses.
We continued on our trip to Hollywood Boulevard were we saw the Hollywood stars. We even got a selfie with Ellen! And bought a sweatshirt at a souvenir shop.
For dinner we went to a 50’s themed dinner with giant records on the ceiling!
Trip Hollywood Day 2:
We started off our day early at 7 AM. Once we had breakfast and got dressed we headed off to Six Flags Amusement Park. We stayed at six flags from 10 AM to 7 PM. A total of 9 hours!
At 7 Pm we headed to diner at a gourmet burger place. The Lazy Dog. Once dinner was done we headed back to our hotel for the night.
Trip Hollywood Day 3:
The day started with us waking up at 6:30 AM! So that we could try to get onto the The Ellen Degeneres Show! However, as hard as we tried (and we did) we were not successful in getting on. So instead we walked a couple of blocks a took a warner bros studio tour!
At the Warner Bros studio tour we learned all sorts of cool facts about all of the films produced there! One random fact is that if you have the money to replace an item in the prop house (a giant building full of all props used on different sets) then you can rent out that prop! If you are ever in the area for Warner Bros studios I would definitely recommend a tour!
We even got to hold a real Oscar!
That concluded our trip so we headed off to the airport from there.
Overall the trip was super fun and amazing! I got to spend lots of quality time with my dad and even got to miss a day of school (another awesome part).
