Central is a must see in my eyes. I love to walk and this is definitely a place you can walk your heart out. It was so beautiful when my sister and I went there. I loved the bridges and the lakes they have. It was so peaceful and I could have spent all day there. They have beautiful flowers and I just loved all the different people you can meet there... We met some very interesting people to say the least. If you love scenery and walking then this is the place to go.

I went to NYC when I was 16. My sister lived there at the time and I stayed with her for a few weeks. We walked for hours every single day. Of course the Empire State Building was one of the places we had to go see. And i really enjoyed it. The lines can get pretty long but luckily we got there pretty early so our wait wasn't too bad. I loved being so high up and being able to see so much. I took tons of pictures. This isn't something you have to visit every time you visit NYC but you have to go at least once.

My sister loves to shop so of course when I visited her she had to take me here. It wasn't necessarily for us to shop as much as it was her wanting me to at least go there and see The Grove. I did like it, and I thought it was very nice and had a lot shops. Its not huge but you will still get plenty of walking in for the day.

My sister lives in Sherman Oaks and the first time I visited her a few years ago, this was a must on her list of places to take me. We went during the week so it wasn't too crowded which was nice. I'm not a fan of crowded beaches =). I absolutely love the weather there, its such a refreshing change from the humid weather we get in my state. They had small little amusement park and a few shops but we just walked again when we weren't swimming. I can't wait to go back again.

While this Rainforest Cafe is a little better than others I have been to, I still think it is not worth the money it cost to dine here. The food is nothing spectacular for what it cost. You are basically paying to dine in the rainforest atmosphere and for me, I'd rather take my money elsewhere. But the kids do seem to like it so if you don't care too much about the cost and the food, then you might like it.
