Well it’s been one crazy busy week! Less than 8 weeks to go! Jay and I decided that it would be a nice idea to get out and about. We headed to sunny Los Angeles on Saturday morning! First we stopped at the rental car place and then we were on our way. We arrived at what was supposed to be our motel in California at around 7pm. We were surprised to find out that hotwire.com had messed up somehow and our reservations had been canceled and the motel was overbooked. We called hotwire and they found us another place a few miles away… which was actually kind of an upgrade in comparison. The motel we were supposed to stay at didn’t look very inviting and the extended stay at least looked clean. We unpacked our very light amount of luggage and then headed to dinner.

We ate dinner at Ruby’s even though there was a 40 minute wait. It didn’t feel like it was that long because we were visiting with Jay’s parents and catching up. Once we were seated we dug in and prepared for our next adventure… NAPLES Christmas lights! It’s a tradition that we’ve decided to keep. This was our 3rd year walking about and seeing all of the lights. It didn’t disappoint! Everything was lit up to the max.

The next day we woke up and decided to get breakfast. As we were driving around our car was making an awful clunking sound. We soon found out that part of the bumper panel was falling off. We had to drive up to LAX to get a new car. They were slow and not super helpful but about 45 minutes later they got us into a new car. We decided because a good portion of our day was spent at the rental car place that we were going to stay an extra day. The previous night we were given a coupon for $25 off a hotel stay so it helped. We booked a double tree by the Citadel Outlet mall. When we arrived they greeted us with warm chocolate chip cookies and coffee. We headed to our room and decided to take a nap. Because it was already dark out we decided not to go to the beach as planned. Instead we went to the Urban Light sculpture that is right in front of the LA Museum of Art or down the street from the tar pits. It was beautiful and there were a ton of people taking photos. It was a little crowded at some times but we were still able to snap a few shots.

After a quick bite to eat we were out and about again. One of our favorite thing about LA is all of the things there is to see. We saw some more art… and then visited the Seinfeld apartment, Doc Browns house, and Marty McFly’s High school. We had a lot of fun exploring before we decided to go back and enjoy the fluffy hotel room. It was nice just to watch tv and relax after our night of exploration.

After a good nights rest we awoke somewhat early to visit the outlet mall where we saw lots of tiny clothes. Jay even picked out the cutest Moose outfit! If we have a girl then we’ll buy her a bow she can wear with it!

As we headed further and further south we decided to stop for some dinner at Carrows and then head to the beach by sunset. It was nice and quiet with a slight breeze. The sun was coming down over the pier. Some lady offered us a puppy but Jay pulled me away before I got too carried away. We walked along the beach until we hit the pier where we watched the sun rest just below the pacific end. It was beautiful. We both enjoyed our little walk…and then it was time to head home! It was the perfect way to end our trip!

Let’s Talk about TV Shows! (MY TV SHOWS)

Let’s talk about Shows today… oh how I have so many that I love an adore. Here are a list of the non-reality tv related ones. Yes we really do watch them all… or we did at one point. These are the shows I recommend trying out… the list is diverse!

Have you ever seen Game of thrones? If not you really should try it. It’s full of adventure, action, and thrill. It’s on HBO and that requires an extra subscription if you have cable which is unfortunate But it is worth it. It is not in any way appropriate for children. And has a lot of artistic nudity, violence, etc. It’s made as well as a movie and the characters are fantastically developed!

Grey’s Anatomy is another one of our favorites. It’s packed with lovable characters. It takes place in Seattle,Wa in Seattle Grace-Mercy West hospital. No it’s not a real hospital but it’s inspired by one. The cases these doctors cross will leave you yelling, crying, and laughing at the television. Though there are a lot of happy endings… sometimes there are the opposite, making you sit on the edge of you seat waiting to see what could possibly happen next.

Um yes please. That’s all I could think of when I heard there was a new show out about firemen. Yes action packed and full of fire. This show makes you love and hate the characters. I don’t have too much to say about this one because I just recently started watching it. But I think it has already made my top 5 list. And yes that is a big deal!

The Vampire Diaries made its way into my life about a year and a half ago. I have since seen every episode, except the one that will be on this week. Entangled love affairs, vampires you both love and hate, characters that evolve over time, and mysteries everywhere. The stories are much more in depth than the twilight saga and the actors have more expression than twenty Bella’s combined. It’s a fun teen show with many twists and turns.

How only one season of Emily Owens, MD happened I don’t know. I’ll admit that when I saw the pilot episode I thought it was a goofy knock off of Grey’s Anatomy. However, over time the characters came to life and they became people anyone could relate to. The show has you laughing and screaming. This show is awesome and fun. If it were up to me I would make sure that there was another season or six.

Yet another show that was barely given a chance! Firefly was an amazing mix of everything. The sarcastic humor could make anyone laugh it up. The characters we so diverse and entertaining it was like a mix of a western/ scifi/ who knows what else. It was so good that they had to make a movie! And hey at least they sell the box set!

This show was my favorite for years. The psychology intertwined was exhilarating for me, as it would be for anyone who got a couple of degrees in psychology. What isn’t fun about following cool and handsome FBI agents around solving murders?! I’ve seen about a bazillion re-runs of the show and continue to love the show. The spin off was okay but the original is the bomb!

What a fun show about two very different individuals who were clearly switched at birth. The cast is a lot of fun and they seem to have good chemistry. The stories are very teen like but they’re a lot of fun. Family values and real life struggles are a plus and a rarity these days. It’s a show I would check out. Oooh and it makes you want to learn sign language!

This show is filmed in my hometown. I was able to pre-screen the first episode in theater and thought it was a lot of fun. It’s creepy, a little cheesy, and a lot of fun. It’s loosely based upon the Grimm Fairy-tales. I love the character Manroe (I call him Wolfie). The actor must have a lot of fun because he is very entertaining. It’s a great depiction of the Grimm Collection!

Once Upon A Time is another fairy-tale show. It’s a lot different than Grimm but is very creative. It uses storybook characters and traps them in modern society. There are a lot of surprises, frustrations, and mixed feelings. It’s a good show but it’s not on my top 5. Love the character development though!

Falling last on my list is The Secret Life of The American Teenager. It’s such a lengthy title that people in our house just call it Secret Life. It’s made by the same people who made 7th heaven back in the day. Though it has a similar feel and features things that teens might experience I find that I don’t connect to the characters as much. It’s a fun show and I’ve watched it from the beginning but again it’s not on my top 5 list. It’s made for teens and pre-teens. But some of the topics are a little questionable. Still a fun show though.
