Hawaii Vogelzangs

Our adventures on O'ahu

Eden turns 13 🎉

For a while now, we’ve talked about doing special one-on-one trips when our kids hit 13. Eden had been planning her trip for a while, and chose to go to LA! So mom and E went from Kauai to LA while Dad and the others flew back to Oahu.

We packed a lot in our 4 days:

  • Warner Bros Studio tour
  • Phillies vs. Dodgers game at Dodgers stadium (unfortunately game 5, not game 4)
  • Universal Studios Hollywood
  • Academy of Motion Pictures museum
  • Santa Monica Pier
  • Mountain and coast drive to see rodeo drive, Hollywood sign, Pepperdine and the remains of the Malibu fires

A packed full trip and lots of fun and special time with my not so little girl (she’s now taller than me)!

Prop building
Prop house – lamps
Prop house – phones
Central Perk from Friends
Harry Potter potions
Harry’s room under the stairs
Sorting hat: Eden got…Ravenclaw
Sign we weren’t allowed to take into the stadium 😆
Didn’t want to take a picture in front of all the dodgers fans (some who booed us every time we got up)
Tough tough way to end after 11 innings but a beautiful night and fun to see their stadium
The Harry Potter ride and world was the highlight!
And the Oscar goes to…
Had to browse at a bookstore!
