I hung out with Elvis last night when @memphistravel put on a pop-up replica of Graceland's Jungle Room, complete with Menphis-style food and cocktails. It will be there tonight and tomorrow. 4/4 - 4/5 Admission is free with RSVP. #elvispresley #graceland #visitmemphis #lapopup #laartsdistrict #memphisstyle #jungleroom #losangelesthingstodo #losangelestravelblogger #boominginla @colehourcohen

My daughter got married in January, and my son (on the right) got married in November. His was in Santa Cruz, California in the redwoods, and hers was in San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico, at Flora Farms. I love this shot because my daughter's bouquet is strategically placed across my tummy. Flora Farms was a spectacular location, and we even had a donkey serving Coronas.🫏 Now I'm done with weddings. On to the next chapter. But destination weddings are cool! #mexicowedding #beautifulbride #florafarms #sanjosedelcabo #brothersisterlove

It's always fun to come across a colorful group of Aztec dancers while strolling Old Town Pasadena. They were celebrating Mexica New Year and the coming of Spring. The event was held next to Vroman's Bookstore sponsored by @tepitocoffee #mexicanewyear #oldpasadena #aztecdancers #comingofspring #losangeles #indigenousdancers #azteca #mexica #losangelesblogger

Pasadena is full of spectacular gardens, and some of them are hidden like the Ambassador Mansion and Gardens. It's next to the Ambassador Auditorium and is a glorious place to walk around. I especially love the huge mansions above it that include the Merritt Mansion built in 1905, Terrace Villa Mansion built in 1924, and the Mayfair Mansion built in 1902. #visitpasadena #ambassadorgardens #ambassadorauditorium #pasadenamansions #pasadenagardens #losangelesgarden #losangelestravelblogger #boominginla

I went to #artnightpasadena last night. So much fun! I couldn't get to all the events, but all I saw were wonderful, and I got a bunch of steps in, too. @artnight_pasadena #artnight #pasadenacalifornia #parsonsnosetheater @armoryarts #cityofpasadena @pasadenaseniorcenter #losangelestravelblogger #boominginla

If you haven't been to a Candlelight Concert yet, they're really cool. This one took place at the historic Santa Monica Bay Women's Club and was a tribute to Louie Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. The lead singer was Lee Mo who was wonderful. The concerts are 60 minutes long. There are concerts in over 100 U.S. cities. #candlelightconcert @candlelight.concerts #santamonica #losangelesconcerts Read my blog post on Boominginla.com

Both of my kid's weddings took place within 3 months. Photos are trickling in but here is a quick peek. One was in San Jose Del Cabo in Baja California @florafarms and the other amid the redwoods in Santa Cruz at @waterfallsantacruz They were both fabulous and so much fun! Swipe right >>>>> I was hoping to get rid of my big tummy before they happened but it was not to be. Still working on it. UGH! Hoping to post some more pics soon! #destinationweddings #sanjosedelcabo #florafarms #waterfalllodge #santacruz #benlomand #weddingattire #beautifulbrides I found my pantsuit at Macy's and it was great because we were hiking up and down hills to get to the ceremony in Santa Cruz. My dress for Cabo was something I had that I had only worn about once and found at a store in San Diego. I love the color. Of course, both wedding gowns were gorgeous.

The wedding weekend begins. First drinks in San Jose Del Cabo. #sanjosedelcabo #loscabos #caboartwalk #ilovemexico #ilovebaja
