Last weekend me and Tim decided to have a nice weekend away but we didn't really go that far we actually just went to LA. Since I work at Hyatt I get pretty sweet discounts. We stayed in west Hollywood right by Hollywood hills they opened a new Hyatt called the Andaz. It was absolutely amazing! The view was amazing and the room was amazing, it was just all very impressive.
They didn't have a front desk. All of the front desk people just carried around laptops, it was kinda cool but also kinda awkward. Since I work at a Hyatt I know that they have to always use your last name. It was really entertaining hearing people call us Mr or Mrs Fron-say basically they didn't think the "e" was silent. I always give Tim a hard time because people always mess up my first name and now everyone messes up my last name also. It was a lot easier when my last name was Matthews, oh well.
We did a couple of things that I had really wanted to do but I hadn't really wanted to drive into LA. First when we got there on Thursday we went to Universal Studios. It was weird because Tim used to live right by Universal Studios, when we were engaged. Universal studios was
totally dead so basically walked onto every ride! I love seeing the back lot its so cool and CSI was taping while we were there so we saw the new girl on the show just hanging out in a CSI outfit!! I'm such a sucker for seeing famous people on Saturday we saw another famous guy, Paul Adelstein, driving in west Hollywood, so random. He is currently in Private Practice, we was also in Prison Break and Be cool. On Friday we went to The Alley. I was most excited for The Alley because it is where you can find a whole bunch of clothes for wholesale. It was a lot like the place we went to in New York where I got my Coach purse. I really want a new purse so that's why I really really really wanted to go to this place. I have been trying to find out a where the alley is located and one day I decided to just google it and it had an actual address I was so shocked I thought that it was just this little hidden place but it is actually part of the fashion district in LA. It was so much to walk around all of the streets. I finally found where they had the
type of purses I wanted (basically they are the real thing but stolen or something). I had such hard time trying to figure out which bag I wanted. I knew I had to get a bag but I just couldn't pick one. I didn't want a coach bag because I already had one but everything else was either a really weird shape or it was HUGE. By the type I picked which one I wanted I could find it anywhere! It was so sad I was really bummed that I didn't end up getting one but I did find this really cute scarf. Later that night I wore my new scarf to a show on sunset. Greg Laswell was the guy we saw and I hadn't really heard any of his stuff before but it was really good! I liked him a lot. I really need to change the music I listen to. On Saturday we went to the Getty in Malibu and it was so much fun. Later that night we walked around Hollywood and we found this great milkshake place where all of their milkshakes were named after different famous people and they had everything you could think of to put in your milkshake. I am totally craving
one right now!That night we also ate at the House of Blues because it was right across the street from our hotel. It was a very weird experience because we went in the wrong entrance and they basically let us into the club where all the band hang out before they preform. Sunday we left and it was sad that the weekend seemed so short. These next couple of months we are trying to take a couple different vacations because this summer is going to be crazy. Tim works so hard and we never have time to do anything fun. It was such a great weekend and the weather was so nice the whole time I love California weather! I can never get too much sun!
This was kinda a gift for me too since they are so good but Tim loves them and we don't really have one close to us so it was a special treat, even though i forgot what Tim's favorite kind of doughnut is, i'm horrible!!! Friday we went to LA. We went to my new favorite place The Alley, its better known as the fashion district in LA. Last time we were in LA I wanted to buy a purse SO BAD but I couldn't find one that I loved so I didn't end up buying one. I am so glad that I waited because when we went this time they had all new purses and I fell in love with a couple of them. With Tim's expert advice I decided on a Louis Vuitton one and I LOVE it!!! 
I also got a scarf! They were the perfect valentines gifts. Later that night we had a reservation at a restaurant called Ketchup but as we were driving there we saw an In-N-Out and decided that we both love In-N-Out way too much and we much rather eat there any day. Since we ate at In-N-Out we decided we should also go to the milkshake shop we found in West Hollywood. It is soooo good, and a great way to end our Valentines Day. We were supposed to go to Portland for Valentines DAy because we have buddy passes Bill and Chiara gave us but I couldn't get it off work. I'm glad we were able to spend this weekend together (and that I got a new purse!) and now we are going this coming weekend and we are SUPER excited since I have never been to Portland, and if Tim wants me to move there he is going to have to convince me that I will LOVE it!
