Birthday Weekend

OH MY! 2-8 so soon?! This year, Mike wanted to plan a little getaway for us and before we knew it, it was too late. We checked into heading up to Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, etc., but it was just too late. Since he will be on a six day over my spring break, this means we will at least have one week where he is home everyday and hopefully we will be able to getaway then! At the last minute, we looked into taking a trip up to Burbank and doing the Warner Brothers Studio tour. It was a lot of fun and I totally recommend doing it at some point. The tour was very small (about 12 people) and very entertaining (of course!). It is so amazing how they use this set for so many things yet make it look so different every time.
These sets are so big in person.
The props department blew my mind...if only I could have snuck away and have picked some things out for our home! ;)
Does this look familiar?! It was actually moved from it's original set to become part of the props department.
We ventured from the props department to the vehicle museum. They had the Bat Mobile, Scooby Doo van, Austin Powers car, etc. Very neat place as well.
I love "Pretty Little Liars" and was excited when our guide pointed the set out! Great show.
Pretty neat that they have their own FD.


We finished our day by sitting in 3 hours worth of traffic from Hollywood to Beverly hills and then back to Hollywood. With the way gas prices are these days, I wish we had a smart car! ha! We ended up having a delicious birthday dinner at Maggiano's at the Grove. It was a great day!
The very next day we headed down to San Diego for Padre's Fan Fest. We decided it would be nice to have a picnic and watch the airshow from Coronado. We stopped at Bristol Farms and got yummy snacks and the best OREO cupcakes! What a beautiful day to watch the airshow!

What a gym!

These are the steps that the players walk up to when heading out from the clubhouse to the field. I happen to like this shot! ;)
Being able to sit in the dugout was a neat experience!


And just when you thought the birthday weekend was over...
Haha! It continued the next day with Mike making me a delicious breakfast, going to the movies, relaxing and making homemade (early Valentine's day dinner since he worked) pizzas!

He is always so thoughtful in his gift wrapping! ;)
Thank you so much for the fun birthday weekend! xoxoxo!

P.S. My family loves to joke with me and say that my birthday's always seem to last the whole month....This one lasted a loooooooooong time! I guess I see where they are coming from! ;)
