fun weekend getaways in los angeles

Are you ready for sunshine and fun weekend getaways?   Los Angeles is just the spot to have fun girl getaways.   The city is filled with warm sandy beaches, celebrity hot spots, fabulous shopping, and tons of things to do that will keep you and the girls laughing and smiling for the entire weekend. One area of Los Angeles you and the girls just gotta visit is Santa Monica.

Santa Monica is an awesome seaside city. It’s the perfect vacation hot spot as it has equal parts of the coastline and urban life.  The Third Street Promenade,also known as the Bayside District, is an entertaining spot to go shopping.   This area is filled with 30 blocks of fabulous boutiques, farmer’s markets and entertaining street performers. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes when you go.  This area is designed for pedestrians only.

Another fabulous shop to visit during your stay is the AdDress Boutique. This boutique is known to carry some of the most famous designer names.  Many celebrities donate their dresses and evening attire that they have worn at award shows such as the Grammy’s.  AdDress then resales them, donating a portion of the profits to charity.   Something fun you and your friends can do is to play up dress up.  Pretending to be your favorite movie stars.  We all did when we were little girls, why not play and have fun now?

After you and the girls are done playing dress up, it’s time to hit the Santa Monica Pier.   There are tons of things to do in this area.   Ocean Front Walk is filled with restaurants and shops.  Feel like being a kid again?   Pacific Park is as amazingly fun amusement park.  There are plenty of rides and activities you girls can do.  Play some games to win prizes to take back home for the kids. You could also ride the nine story Pacific Wheel, the first solar powered Ferris wheel in the world.

There are plenty of things to do for fun weekend getaways in Santa Monica.   Stroll along the Third Street Promenade to see the street performers and shops.  Play dress up with girls at AdDress Boutique.  Ride the fun rides and play games at Pacific Park.  Isn’t it about time you played again?
