LA (long post)

Yeah so we have been home for a week and I still haven't blogged about our trip to LA - sue me!!

Well we went to LA last weekend it was our 5 year annivesary so I thought we should do something fun - and I wanted to see Wicked so bad so that's the real reason we went to LA, everything else was just fluff.
Yep we went to see Wicked - TWICE that is how our trip to LA started. We flew in Wednesday night (the 19th) got to our hotel, it was pretty late by the time we got there - about 11 so we just hung out and crashed. Thursday Morning, slept in, and went straight to the Pantages - I was so excited!

once we got there we had to see it - but we had a few hours to spare till the Lottery. So we headed over to the Grove. It's a huge shopping center outdoors. So we hopped on the bus and headed over there. We just walked around.

Gotta love American Girl, have always wanted to go to one, always wanted a Samantha doll I was sad to hear that they were discontinuing here :( Then there was the CBS studios - WOOT. at the Grove they had this huge farmers market with endless supply of any kind of food you wanted to eat. So Kelly had to try some -YUM!
So while shoppping at the Grove look who also shops there: YAH I saw a celabrity!! I LOVE LOVE Gilmore Girls so this was a huge treat that I ran into (okay stalked) Liza Wells aka Paris.

rest of the day:

FUN DAY!!!
Saturday (our anniversary)
Honestly it started out as a very crapy day. We really didn't know what we wanted to do, we were both so indecisive that we couldn't make our minds up. And we spent most of the day doing nothing but arguing. It was very frustrating. So we decided to go get something to eat then run over to do the Wicked lottery once more and if we don't win then go see Wicked anyway. Before we ate we stopped at the Chinese theater where all the handprints in the cement are - pretty neat. Saw Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman, the cast of Harry Potter, Marilyn Monroe - see for yourself:

Then we headed back to the Pantages to get in the lottery. So for those of you who don't know the you put your name in a drawing for front row tickets for $25, you go 2.5 hours before the show starts, then 2 hours before the show starts they pick 13 names and they give you this cool button and then you can buy front row tickets. Well...

YEP IT WAS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE!! WE got front row seats. And let me tell you it was AMAZING. I mean the play itself is amazing but front row was more spectacular. We could see their spit, the sweat, the microphones taped to their head. I was so happy I was in tears!!! I love this musical more than anything!! I don't want to spoil it for anyone but Defying Gravity was my ALL time favorite song! Simply Amazing!! It was a great anniversary present - glad I won! We jumped for joy!

Then we got to meet the cast after the show - SO FUN!!

Sunday we were pretty exhausted so we took a trip to Beverly Hills

We had to go get Sprinkles cupcakes - YUM. But check out the street lamps on Rodeo drive!! SERIOUSLY!! We had so much fun - what a great trip!
