Chris and I in Beverly Hills!


No time for the actual Universal Studio's theme park :(


The cork wasn't really secure on the olive oil...can you tell?


Hardrock! Our favorite :)


Michael Jackson's House! Where the ambulance backed out of...we met the lady who sold the "Stars Maps" on the corner and first spread the news!


Fresh Prince of Bel Air House! "....Nooowwwww this is the story all about how..." No?



Where to begin?...

Well, first...I am happy to be home and so is Chris! Our "weekend getaway" didn't turn out to be as FAB as we were hoping! "It's California!...we thought?....how could any part of Cali be bad?" It turns out, it can! Why didn't ANY of my friends warn me about Venice Beach?? Why?!

I dislike every part of Venice. And when you are staying in Venice Beach, we realized very quickly that it's not safe to go outside. Especially after witnessing a girl robbed of her phone within seconds of walking on the boardwalk. Not the best greeting. We felt a little deflated but kept on. Although Venice sucked, we figured Santa Monica, LA, some place near would be better. That was true except for the driving portion. Driving in LA is a nightmare!

I know I sound like such a downer but I need this entry to vent. I feel so bad that the trip didn't turn out since that was supposed to be my anniversary gift to Chris! :( After this, I am sure he doesn't want another gift from me...ever! haha.

We did have some fun parts of course, because we were together and it was great to really enjoy each other's company without the distraction of daily life. Turns out, we LOVE our daily life! ;) Cuddled in bed, watching movies! ;) We had to...again, Venice = scary day or night!

But throughout the trip I kept saying to myself "there's always DASH", a boutique I was very excited to visit (from Keeping up with the Kardashians). Well, this too, was a complete let down. The store was tiny, no cute clothes and waaaay overpriced! The girl at the counter was texting the whole time and didn't care at all if you were there. The good news? I went across the street to a boutique, The Vault, which was amazing! I found adorable items, the girl there was sooo helpful and Chris spoiled me!

The venting list could go on but hey, you live and you learn and at least we get the opportunity to travel and try new things. TO ALL MY FRIENDS: I do NOT recommend VENICE BEACH! ;)

I'm glad to be home and hope that my upcoming vacations are a lot better! ;)
