California｜Los Angeles 🌅｜Goodbyes & Reunions ⏳

First day of the new year 🧧 Light rain in LA 🌧️ Saw my mom off at the airport 🏠✈️ She cried. I haven’t cried in years, but in that moment, my eyes still welled up. I knew— that was longing. Watching her figure slowly disappear, I turned and walked ahead, step by step. Goodbyes are the second most romantic thing in the world 💙 Because after parting, every meeting is a reunion. And reunions— are the first most romantic thing 💛 — 📍 Griffith Observatory 🌄 Love the view from —overlooking all of LA. If you have time, park below and hike up 🚶‍♂️ The scenery along the way is worth it. 📍 Lake Hollywood Park 🎬 Classic Hollywood Sign photo spot. ⚠️ Super crowded— ‼️ You’ll need expert parallel parking skills 😅 📍 Ascot Hills Park 🌇 Known as the “Angel’s Gate.” Probably even prettier at dusk— I’ll catch it next time 😬 Easy parking 🅿️ About 20 minutes to hike up ⏰ Arrive 1 hour before sunset. — 🗺️ Recommended Route (Efficient Order): 1️⃣ Lake Hollywood Park 2️⃣ Griffith Observatory (Add other stops in between) 3️⃣ Ascot Hills Park #California #CaliforniaLife #CaliforniaTravel #USATravel #WestCoast #SanFrancisco #LosAngeles #LATravel #TravelDiary #Views #GoodbyesAndHellos 🌁✨
