So what have I been doing these past few months? Traveling, (and homework) to say the least! Also, I've been shooting some awesome engagement sessions and wedding pix. I will have those up soon. First of all...I will post some fun pix of when Mike and I went to LA (that's right, warm, sunny, Los Angeles) over Christmas break. Except that it was not as warm as I thought it would be...they were apparently having one of the coldest winters in years and I failed to acknowledge it and chose to freeze in flip flops and the like.
I have never, ever been to California, so Mike and I downloaded the typical California-ish songs to listen to on the plane...you know, like, Phantom Planet's "California" and "Hotel California" by the Eagles and some Beach Boys stuff.
We never would have been able to go if Mike's brother hadn't offered to let us stay with him for free! So, we got to hang out with Jon and Fran (Jon's girlfriend) and got to do the typical LA scene things, such as cruise around Rodeo Drive looking for stars ( didn't see any), drove up and down the Sunset Strip, which, by the way, has it's own website....I never knew a road could have it's own website! www.thesunsetstrip.com
If you check out the nighttime section of the Sunset Strip website, you will see The Standard Lounge and that's where we *partied* on New Years...or more like ate a bunch of cheese and fruit because that's all we could afford and practically missed the countdown because of the long line at the bathroom!
We also drove through Hollywood and went to Graumman's Chinese Theatre and saw the Hollywood Walk of Fame. By the way, if you ever go to the Hollywood Walk of Fame and you are looking for a particular star, be sure to look it up ahead of time ( I didn't know you could buy a map specifying where the stars are) and it will save you a LOT of walking. I was on a mad search for Marilyn Monroe and we walked about 2 miles before we saw her star (which was near where we started...I thought Mike was going to kill me!)
Anywho, here are some pictures from the trip.....
Hollywood!
Palm trees everywhere! These were over 8 stories tall!!!
Finally found Marilyn :)
It is super crowded around the Chinese Theatre
I totally did this for my nephew Jackson and I hope he appreciates it, because this guy was creepy!!!
With Fran on New Year's!
Fran and Jon and I can't tell who the other guy is :)
Happy New Year!
On the Santa Monica Pier ferris wheel with Mike....he had never been on a ferris wheel, so I made him get on it with me!
And thanks to Jon and Fran for letting us stay with you!!! We had the best time!!!
Check back later...I will definitely be blogging more later!!!
