5 Perfect Pie Places For National Pi Day

HAPPY NATIONAL PI DAY! My favorite national day of the year! But really everyday is pie day in my opinion! You can never have enough pie in your life. It has gotten me through a lot!

So on this day of days I wanted to share with you my favorite places to plug in and pie out!

A Photographer Potterhead's Photo Tour of Potter Land LA

I made it NERDS!!!

The main reason for my recent trip to LA was a concert featuring Walking On Cars but since Ocean Eyes and I were heading to LA we couldn't miss a stop at Universal Studio's newest land, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

I bought our Universal Studio tickets online, and when you do that, you are allowed to enter into the park an hour early. So bright and early at 8am, decked in my Slytherin pride and wand in hand, we walked through the arches of The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter!

The best part of arriving at the park as soon as it opened, there was hardly anyone around! I was able to take a ton of pictures without people interfering!

Our first stop had to be Hogwarts castle for the Forbidden Journey ride. I had already been to the park in Florida and everything was pretty much identical, but it had been years so it was all new again! Plus Ocean Eye's had just watched Harry Potter for the first time a few months ago and it was so adorable to see him recognize a few things and just be excited for me!

There was NO line for the ride. But I still took my time walking through the castle, taking all the pictures, pointing out all the things and just being a super nerd! FYI Ocean Eyes is Ravenclaw!

 SHERBERT LEMON!

This was the first time that I had ever seen a picture of Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor!

 Must be...SLYTHERIN!

Immediately following the ride, which I almost got sick on! Ugh motion sickness, Ocean Eyes cheered me up with a Butterbeer! The line for that wasn't even in existence yet so we walked right up! It was delish!!

 Honeydukes is as colorful and wonderful as in the film.

#Always.

I LOVED the park! It was not crowded that early in the morning, that we were able to get through everything in about an hour! So major tip is go during the week and take advantage of buying your tickets online and getting that extra hour!

Have you nerds been yet?! Notice any differences between the one in LA and Florida? I think I need to go back to Florida and compare, PLUS experience the 2nd park!

LA Apartment Tour

It is official!  I am now an LA resident!  The movers packed us up on Wednesday morning and I was unpacked before 6 p.m. that same night!  I am so happy to have my house back in order.  It hasn't exactly been smooth sailing, but we are getting use to it and settling in, though it still feels like a vacation!

In San Diego, we had a three level town home with two bedrooms, two baths and a two car garage.  In LA we have one bedroom, one bath and two parking spots.  You can say it was a BIT of a shock unpacking.  The living room just barely fits our HUGE couch, but I just love all the light that comes in through the big window.
