Mingle with celebrities and take photos of iconic sites. Griffith Park to the east of St. Monica Mountains is a must-visit place to spend time, for there are a number of activities and things to watch. A drive through the mountains will give you an experience of a lifetime as you watch the city below. Disneyland’s Theme Park is surely another iconic place to visit.

Chicago, IL

The shores of Lake Michigan next to this great city, which is also the 3^rd largest city in the US, make Chicago another popular destination.

From here you will see how the Downtown skyline is mirrored wonderfully by the building’s exterior.  The Art Institute of Chicago is also within this park.
