It's crazy how time flies, it seems like just yesterday that Sean and I got married... but at the same time I feel like we have always been together. (I know that is contradicting, but I can't explain it) Our one year anniversary was on the 10th which was Monday. We were only planning on going out to dinner that night and doing something together on Tuesday because Sean would have that day off (Veteran's Day).
On Monday morning I woke up around 6:30 and Sean was still sleeping by me... I woke him up, telling him he was going to be late and asking him if he forgot to set his alarm. He said that he didn't want to tell me until later but he had gotten the day off so we could spend our anniversary together! How sweet! We went back to sleep until about 8:00. When we woke up again, I told him that I was planning on making him cookies while he was at work (he always wants cookies), but since he wasn't going it wouldn't be a surprise anymore. Lame surprise compared to what he said next.... He told me that I probably wouldn't have time to make them. And that I needed to pack a bag, because we were going to stay in Hollywood! I was totally surprise and very excited!
So that is where we went. It's about 2 hours north of us. We got there and checked into our hotel room, complete with a view of the Hollywood sign! The first day we walked around town, checked out the Star's Walk of Fame, Capital Records, and the Hollywood sign (we drove up as close as we could to it) That evening we went out to eat at an Indian restaurant and went to see the Santa Monica Pier... I was so excited to ride the ferris wheel that is on the pier but it closed down at 7:00 and we got there at 7:30! I was way bummed! That night we stopped by a grocery store and got individual Ben and Jerry's ice-creams and a bottle of sparkling cider (of course!) We went back to our hotel to eat our ice-cream and drink our cider out of plastic cups, while we watched 'The Secrets of a Magician Revealed' on t.v. (it was really interesting!) The next day we went and saw every single thing that there is to see in Hollywood. The Chinese Theater, tons of celebrity's houses, Beverly Hills, Rodeo drive, Kodak Theater, House of blues.... EVERYTHING! I can't write all of the things! It was so much fun! I loved every minuted of it. That night we drove home along the coast through New Port Beach, and Laguna Beach.
We took a million pictures... here are a few of them...

The elevator at our hotel was kinda crazy. It would stop very suddenly, I was always a little worried when riding in it.
It was a great way to end our first year and start our next one. My favorite part of the trip was getting to hang out with Sean! I have the best husband, he is always thinking of fun things to do, and cute ways to surprise me! I'm so excited for year #2 and all the rest after that!!
