*sigh* so I guess I will tell you about our trip now. . .
We flew into LAX on Monday night around 5pm LA time. And let me just say, when vacationing traveling west where you gain 2 hours is so awesome! We kept waking up at 8:30am so we had the whole day to go do things! Because if you know me, you know I like to sleep in. :)
So on Tuesday we went to this awesome outdoor mall called the Americana. Basically it was like the best mall ever, only outside. With awesome Christmas lights everywhere, and waterfountains that were coordinated with the music. For those of you living in Texas, yes its like in the Woodlands only times 10! OH, and the American had the BEST crepes ever. And a fabulous cupcake shop called Crumbs, which I am so sad is not in Texas.

On Wednesday we went and bought a new camera! *everyone cheers* And then we went to Santa Monica. Beautiful. Walked along the pier, bought some cotton candy, and went to a mexican restaurant. *Yum* And it was the first time for me to try coconut shrimp! Shocking, I know. Needless to say I am in loveeeeee! That and pina colodas. Don't worry mom, it was virgin. ;)
After walking on the pier and eating more food, we went and walked around another outdoor mall with more beautiful decorations and numerous people singing with their guitar. Some sounding more depressed than others, but its ok.
We then came upon this store that had an adorable pillow with a cross-stitched (or something like that) LA type scene, but it was sooo cute. Loved it. Went in to buy it... $150. Didn't buy it. haha

We went to Hollywood for Thanksgiving! So much fun, and not as crowded as probably the next day was. We saw Graumans Chinese Theater, all the Hollywood Stars, Rodeo Drive, and several famous peoples houses, including.... Bill Cosby, Selvester Stallone, Halley Barry, Christina Aguilera, Richard Simmons (hahaha) and the late Michael Jackson.

For our last day we got up early and went to the Warner Brothers VIP tour! It was sooo awesome! We got to go on the street sets where things were filmed like: Annie, Sex and the City Scenes, Friends Scenes, The famous Spiderman upside down kiss, and many others! We also got to see (for my Gilmore Girl fans) Lorelai's house, Sookie's house, Babett's house, and Luke's Diner! That was the most exciting part for me. :) Then we got to go onto the set of George Lopez, and Two And A Half Men!
After that we went to Downtown Disney and walked around. So much fun! We even had our caricature done. Cost us $50 and we tried to walk away, but that didnt work. lol. So now we own a $50 piece of paper with us cartoonized on it. :P I need to take a picture, I'll post it next blog. :)
But that's all for tonight. :) More to come.

You were SO close to me, less than 2 hours!! If it wasn't your honeymoon, I would have expected a visit! Next time you have an itch to come to CA, let me know! Congratulations again!
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome. I'm still plugging away at your photos. Almost done - almost. I went to put my favorite 10 up on FB a little bit ago when I realized they were all out of order, boooooo, so now renaming, more resizing, sharpening, batching.... you know the long stuff.
ReplyDeleteThis is when I normally complain to Alicia for a new computer. :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed LA, it sounds like you put together a better plan than I would have. Where did you eat?
