Hollywood Sign Hike

Last weekend the hubs spent 15+ hours studying for the real estate exam. Since we knew we'd be holed up at home for most of the weekend we wanted to break it up by doing something fun and different on Saturday morning....a hike to the Hollywood sign! Upon researching the various trails in the area we decided on the trail that goes up behind the Griffith Observatory. Since admission to the observatory is free we walked through it a bit before heading out for the hike. It was a pretty cloudy day but I managed to get a couple of decent pictures.

Views during the hike When we reached the "summit" there was a nice spot to relax and enjoy the view.

Mt. Hollywood elevation 1619 feet At the top the views of downtown were incredible even for an overcast day.
This was a really fun and not too strenuous hike but it definitely got our hearts pumping and we will be back very soon! It took about an hour and a half round trip and I recommend it to everyone! It was so great to see so many people out workin' on their fitness during the hike. Peeps of all ages, shapes and sizes were out and it was super motivating. I think I've caught the hiking bug! The best part its only 30 minutes from my house (on a Saturday morning with no traffic).

Yesterday we got the news that hubs passed his exam!! Words cannot express how proud I am of him and his dedication to studying for this test. He is now in the process of "broker shopping" and will be up and running very soon. Hubs has worked in real estate for the last ten years as an escrow officer and has a bachelors in communications. With these attributes and continued blessing from God we are crossing our fingers that he'll become the next Donald Trump!
