This past week my husband did something that NEVER happens. He took me on a vacation for our 3rd anniversary. It was great and something we needed. I love spending time with my husband and as much as I missed Broc back home, I am so so glad we went. We own vacation property with WorldMark so we got a condo in Indio, California. For those that don't know, its by Palm Springs. We flew out on Wednesday the 22 (our anniversary) to LAX. We landed, went and got our rental car and went to lunch at In and Out. (on a side not, In and Out lost it's luster after seeing one EVERYWHERE) It was then off to the beach. We went to Venice beach and walked the boardwalk. Everyone smokes weed there. There was this one random lady that would just stop and dance and give people seductive looks. It was special. We then walked down to the Santa Monica Pier. It looked and felt like the loooongest walk ever but it was nice. After that we headed to Indio to check in to our condo. I went to Indio a couple of years ago right before we had Broc and wow has it changed. It was so so nice. The pool was amazing. There was a lazy river that I spent a lot of my time in. The resort has a Dominos Pizza on sight. It saved our life Wednesday night. By the time we dealt with traffic and everything it was 9. Justin had a headache and we were starving.
Thursday we spent the day at the condo, went grocery shopping and bummed at the pool. Friday we drove back into LA. We went to the LA Temple, then headed to the beach. Justin swam in the ocean and I chilled on the beach. After the beach we hit Hollywood Blvd. and were just tourists. It was fun. I have driven it before but never walked it and looked at everything. I got my picture taken with Mr. Incredible, Zorro and Yoda. Yea me!! After we did the tourist thing, we hooked up with my friend Christina and her friend Tod for some all you can eat sushi in Studio City. We ate at a place called Midori. It was yummy. Does anyone remember Andy Dick? He was there. I saw a celebrity. That was a highlight of the trip.
Saturday we shopped the outlets (stores I CAN NEVER afford) ate at the Cheesecake Factory and went home and swam some more and made dinner. We then turned in somewhat early since we needed to leave at 2:00am to make a hopeful 6:00am flight. We flew stand by which when it came down to it, stressed me out. The 6:00am flight was full so there was little chance Justin and I were getting on. Our friend Christina scored a seat but we were still playing the waiting game. We finally thought that we were going to be the next flight. The stars aligned however and I was the VERY LAST PASSENGER on the flight. I had to leave Justin hoping he was able to get on the next flight. Luckily he did.
I am so grateful for my husband and all that he did to make this trip possible. I love him so so much and I am one of the luckiest gals in the world. Thanks babe for 3 awesome years and I am looking forward to an eternity more.
