HotSpot: Universal CityWalk

The one place my family and I LOOOOOVE to go to is Universal CityWalk.
It's very family friendly and there's always something to do there.

CityWalk has a strip of shops -- Abercrombie & Fitch, ANGL, Billabong, Guess Accessories, Lids, Skechers, etc -- and restaurants -- Bubba Gump, Buca Di Peppo, Hard Rock Cafe, Johnny Rockets, Tony Roma's, Wolfgang Puck Bistro, etc -- that will surely keep the whole family busy the whole day.

There's also a movie theater there that plays the newest movies out.
What could be better than that?

The day that I went, MTV was having a Rock of Ages Sneak Peek event.
It was a lucky day because I got to watch it for free!

Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta, Malin Akerman, and Rock of Ages Director, Adam Shankman shared a bit of their experience filming the movie.

I didn't really stay the whole time. I went along and continued shopping with my sister!

Have you guys ever been to Universal CityWalk? What's your favorite store/restuarant?

    Looks like a lot of fun! I went to Universal years and years ago, when I was a kid still. I don't remember if I ever went to the Citywalk though.
