Mike & I celebrated our fifth anniversary in March. I had the stomach flu so I dined that night on grits. His mom was sick at the time so we decided to postpone a celebration until fall.
So on September 20 we got on a plane and headed to LA. Brooklyn was jealous that we were going to Hollywood. There were three highlights of the trip for me:
- Watching DL practice with Mitch Kupchak, GM of the LA Lakers. Mike hung out with him at Carolina so we contacted him when we knew we were going and he graciously invited us over. It was fun getting to see their practice facility and some court action.
- The VIP tour at Warner Brothers. I really wanted to do the five hour tour but it was sold out (next time!). So we did the 2.5 hour tour which was a lot of fun. It gave me some interesting ideas for props for CM.
- Nine days with no responsibilities except turning on Garmin Girl as soon as we got in the car and making sure we had a few plans for each day.
Other interesting things: The beaches, the weather (it rained for the first time in 150 days while we were there), Venice Beach, Santa Monica...they were holding auditions for a new dance show while we were there and we weren't smart enough to realize it. There were so many stars there that we could have seen :(, Balboa Island, Wilma at Balboa Island, a 755 sq. ft. house for a mere $6million at Balboa Island, Laguna Beach, Hollywood, Rodeo Drive (calling Stephanie on Rodeo Drive), donut searches, San Juan Capistrano, walking the whole gas lamp district in San Diego and ending up eating at the place we started, Trader Joes (yummy), Garmin Girl - what would we have done without her and jet lag.
Thank you Mike for realizing how important it is for us to have quality time away. I had a great time. You are a wonderful husband.
Peace, Love & Vitamin C,
Tina
