6 Reasons to Visit LA This Spring

Los Angeles, California, boasts iconic landmarks, celebrities, breathtaking coastlines, diversity and entertainment. It’s no wonder that so many people place LA at the top of their bucket lists.  

If you’ve caught the travel bug and are interested in booking a trip to the west coast, you could do so during the summer when everyone else has the same idea. However, springtime in LA has more to offer than you realize. Here are six reasons you’ll want to visit LA this spring. 

  1. Great Weather

LA is at its most picture-worthy during the winter and spring months. Between March and April, visitors can expect the average temperatures to range from a low of 53.4° Fahrenheit to 70.9° F as the high with plenty of sunshine, low humidity and little rain. As you venture into May, you might even enjoy comfortable temperatures in the 80s. 

While March and early April may be too chilly to dip your toes in the ocean, springtime in LA is ideal for grabbing a couple of blankets and sitting out on the beach to watch the sunset. It’s also excellent weather for spending your days walking around, visiting tourist attractions and shopping. Who wants to venture out when the temperatures are scorching hot?

  1. Fewer Crowds

Before the coronavirus pandemic, California forecasted 51 million tourists for LA in 2020. While COVID led to a decline of about 22 million visitors that year, LA’s bound to see an increase in tourism as positive cases continue to dwindle. 

Regardless of COVID, springtime visitors are typically fewer than in summer. For one thing, kids are still in school, college is still in session and people tend to save their vacation days for June through August. 

That frees up a lot of time you’d typically spend waiting to get into Disneyland, make your way to the Walk of Fame or take a sightseeing double-decker bus tour of the celebrity mansions. You’ll also have a better shot at booking a romantic night out in LA at the top restaurants with fewer people making reservations.

  1. Cheaper Travel

Since it’s not prime vacation season yet, you can typically find discounted flights to LA in the spring. LA has five airports, with Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) being the city’s largest and most commonly traveled hub. About 69 air carriers fly into LAX, including all major airlines, making the city easily accessible.

You may also benefit from off-season rates at hotels and special discounts on theme park admissions. During the summer months, peak prices are highest; so if you’re looking to budget an exciting trip to the west coast this year, you’ll have a better shot at springtime savings while reaping the benefits of summer travel.

  1. Start of Baseball Season

Baseball is a big deal in LA and the city boasts two popular baseball teams. Opening days for the Dodgers and Angels are in April—and LA has been known to bring the party. 

Suppose you’re lucky enough to visit the city during the start of the baseball season. In that case, you might be able to experience lots of celebratory events in and outside of the stadium.

Dodgers fans, in particular, flood the streets in a sea of blue and white to cheer on their home team. Grab tickets to experience the fun of a Dodgers or Angels game when you visit LA. Even if you aren’t necessarily an avid sports fan, it’ll be a worthwhile experience. 

  1. The Renaissance Pleasure Faire

LA has so much more to offer than spectacular landscapes, baseball and Hollywood stars. In Irwindale, California, the Renaissance Pleasure Faire has attracted a quarter-million visitors every spring since 1962, delivering reenactments of a 1580s English-market fair. 

Musicians and actors dress up for the occasion while guests can enjoy period music, performances, artisans, archery and other games and entertainment. You might even sign up for the Renaissance Pleasure Faire’s infamous pub crawl, stopping at four taverns and public houses for drinks with friends and new acquaintances.  

While dressing up in Elizabethan-era clothing is optional, many visitors find they have a more enjoyable experience when they attend in costume. You can rent a period outfit for the day instead if you prefer.

  1. Festival Season Kickoff

While LA is known for year-round festivals, springtime is typically the city’s festival season kickoff, where you can enjoy lots of delicious food, music and community.

Join thousands of residents and visitors in celebrating Israeli Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo, the LA Beer Festival, a book festival and the Long Beach Pride Celebration. Of course, there are hundreds more festivals to attend between April and May.

If the arts are your passion, perhaps visit the NoHo Theatre and Arts Festival, A State of Trace LA Festival or the Beachlife Festival to ring in the summer music scene. 

Best Springtime Travel to LA

There are many reasons to visit LA this spring. Between the perfect weather, smaller crowds and ongoing events, visitors will have the opportunity to see and participate in everything they’ve always dreamt of. Summer may be peak visitation in LA, but something about springtime makes the city shine.

You do not find a happy life. You make it. 

That’s the biggest lesson that grief has taught me. If I just wait around to be happy again, I’ll die sad. 

You don’t get through grief and come out the other side. That’s not how it works. You learn how to grow around it like a tree grows around a rock that’s in the way. You don’t wait for the rock to move. Cause it’s not gonna. 

Choose happy. And then make it happen.

Happy Valentine’s Day, @daeinexplains 🥰

The last 20 years with you have been my favorite years on this earth. ❤️ 

If I did anything right in my life, it was when I decided to give my heart to you.  You are my best friend, my soul mate, my better half, my rock, my everything. 

I love you.

Kids love helping if you just let them!💁🏼‍ Kids love helping if you just let them!💁🏼‍♀️

This little guy always asks to help when he sees me cleaning the house, washing the floors, doing laundry, or emptying the dishwasher. That’s what I love about Montessori parenting - it allows kids to do  big jobs and in turn makes them eager to help! 

He was over the moon when we gave him the @lovevery floor mop that actually works! He uses it daily now. The mopping pad is machine washable and you can refill the fluid container on it. I usually just do water and a drop of essential oils because he loves it when everything smells clean! 😜 

Definitely recommend! If you want to grab this mop for your little helper, it’s in the Storyteller Play Kit from Lovevery for 3 year olds.

Stop trying to fit your square self in a round hol Stop trying to fit your square self in a round hole. 

Sometimes we outgrown relationships. Sometimes we realize someone else isn’t a good influence on our lives. Sometimes we realize we aren’t a good influence for someone else. Sometimes we need to let things go that aren’t good for us in order to grow. And that’s ok. 

Stop trying to sit at a table you are no longer welcome at. Just be yourself, focus on God, love your family and friends, and the right people will gravitate to you. ✌🏻

Today was my due date for Dylan. Considering he w Today was my due date for Dylan.

Considering he was my 6th child, it's possible he would have been here by now. It’s been extra hard for me this week. 

Despite my best efforts to be strong and stay positive, I am completely brokenhearted. I’m just being honest. I could pretend I’m fine, but that doesn't do me or anyone else any good to be dishonest about the pain of miscarriage or the grief that comes with losing a child. 

My heart is completely shattered from having an empty womb and an empty nursery. An empty bassinet in the corner and unused tiny newborn outfits, all washed, folded, and ready… for nothing. 

It makes me physically sick to my stomach when I think about it all and I can't even fathom how I got here. How did I get here? 

This isn't how it's supposed to be! I should be holding a newborn right now! It’s so unfair. 

In an instant, my baby was gone and there was nothing I could do to change that. 

It doesn't matter how much time passes or what else happens in life, I will always miss him. My heart with always long for my baby. 

Those who haven't experienced loss tell you that "Don’t worry! Things will get better, just focus on the positive!" but people who actually know this grief and what it actually feels like to lose a baby, won’t tell you that. They know this hard road. They understand that unfortunately you don't just “get over it.” 

The grief doesn't just go away, even if you try to ignore it, it's still there. Like the sun. You don’t have to look at it to know it’s there. You can turn your back on it but it will still warm your skin. 

The grief from losing a child is unbearable. 
It is unpredictable.
It is unforgiving.
It is relentless.
It is all-consuming.
And it completely shatters you when you don’t expect it. 

You don’t get over it. You don’t forget. You simply learn to live with it. And I’m learning to live with it every day. 

It’s been 137 days I’ve had to live without my baby. 

Lord Jesus, please… hold me extra tight tonight.
