FamilyFinds GIVEAWAY – The Perfect Valentine! (ENDED)

Congrats to the lucky winner Erika Larson!!!

Thanks to all of you who entered so enthusiastically, it was so great to read all of your comments. We received over 800 entries to our contest, the competition was FIERCE! Here’s Erika’s favorite romantic spot in Los Angeles:

“The top of the mountain on the Temescal Canyon hike. You can see for miles, north of malibu and south of the south bay, downtown Los Angeles. The view is breathtaking, and it’s so peaceful and quiet. It by far is the most romantic spot to spend with someone you love in Los Angeles.”

With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, hLA is collaborating with our buddies over at FamilyFinds this week to bring you the most romantic giveaway we’ve ever offered: the bestest Valentine’s Day date in LA!

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! The lucky winner will *also* get to choose between a complimentary bottle of Veuve Clicquot NV Brut Rose or a voucher for babysitting services so you can leave the munchkins at home without worry.
