Back from Cali!

Ahhhh...my trip was awesome! I went to visit my very "bestest" friend Christine in California. She was needing some comforts from home and I was needing to get away from home! We really didn't do a whole lot. Saw the ocean--AWESOME! I was just the right temperature, lots of beautiful crashing waves and a couple of sea lions looking for a bite to eat. It was very cool to see them not at the zoo, but in the wild! My friend only lives like 5 blocks or something from Holly wood Blvd so we also walked down there and saw the stars on the sidewalk. Here is my favorite!

Pee-Wee's playhouse was my sister and I's favorite Sat. morning show back in the day. So I was very excited when we came upon this star. We also bought a star map for $10. It actually had the stars addresses and everything in it. We drove around the Hollywood Hills and looked for famous people's houses. We saw Ozzy Osbourne's house from when they were on MTV. Here are a few more that we stalkarazzi-ed: Drew Barrymore, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, George Michael and Madonna'a former homes, Lindsay Lohan, Cher, Elton John, Gwen Stefani. I was hoping that maybe as we drove by we would see Tom and Katie playing with Suri in their front yard or that Madonna might be out washing her car, but no luck! Even if they were we wouldn't of been able to see then through their driveway gates and 10 foot tall shrub fences! It was still fun! The only famous person I saw and recognized was this guy:

He is Stellan Skarsgard aka Bootstrap Bill Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean. He was also the mean teacher guy in "Good Will Hunting". We saw him at Target just buying some stuff for his house probably. It was pretty cool!
We also spent one entire afternoon and night having cocktails, playing Monopoly (I was the victor!) and watching some cult classics: Tommy Boy, Revenge of the Nerds, Weird Science and Sixteen Candles to name a few! We had tons of fun, reminisced about the past before jobs, college, boyfriends, husband and kids! I guess we did do a lot of stuff now that I look back. I can't wait to go back!
