Californ-i-A!

Here is a little taste of Richard and I when we were first dating (like the first day we started dating in fact).
As you can tell from this video, richie and I were absolutely meant to go to california together.You can also tell that we were meant to marry each other by how giddy and ridiculous I am acting :)

Welp we did the marriage thing about 8 months ago, so it was time to fulfill our other destiny- to go to California together!


Day 1- to the BEACH! Newport Beach

 It doesn't look like much, but it sure beat the minivan from our honeymoon. And it had functioning A/C, which neither of our cars do, so we felt pretty good cruising around in this guy.

 Then we went out to this Japanese place to eat later that day so I could get some sushi!

 ... and dessert. Guess which one is mine? :)

 Day 2- Hollywood!

  Representin' my boyz

 Who doesn't love Will Smith? PS if you've never been to Hollywood, it's tough to get pics next to these hand prints. It's tough just to walk through the place without getting trampled, if you ask me. I was willing to make it happen though for my boy Will.


 
I asked this guy for a picture and he asked me for a tip. How hard is it to stand there while someone takes a picture of you?

 We (sort of) hiked the trail to the hollywood sign! Do you see it?

 My first time seeing a Porshe get towed for a parking violation

After Hollywood, we went to Beverly Hills where we saw some amazing automobiles. Just about everyone there has a Bentley, Mercedes, Audi, Lamborghini, etc

 Last Day in California :(

 We went to the beach at sunset for a little romantic end to the experience.

No judging- it's sparkling grape juice

 probably one of the highlights of our trip was going to sprinkles cupcakes, a cupcake bakery started by Candace Nelson from the food network's "Cupcake Wars" (i'm obsessed with the food network)

disregard the rather unflattering photo of the woman in the line in front of us. that was not intentional.

 we got a red velvet, s'more, black and white, and i honestly can't remember the other one. they were tasty though! that box cost us $14 plus tax so you'd better hope they were good (how do people afford to live in California??)

And here we are in the airport, ready to fly back to Utah! I took a picture because of how goobery/touristy we looked since we had matched that day on accident. It's like those old couples that go on vacation dressed in matching Hawaiian shirts. 

And then we came back to life as usual here and prepared to move! We had so much fun and can't wait for our next adventure!
