Wow. This honeymoon wrap up is taking a lot longer than I had thought! I really did want to write about each day because the further we get away from the honeymoon the less we are going to remember!
So back to LA. The night before, Mat and I had gone to Ralph's (their local grocery store that we basically had to go to everyday for something!) and bought some breakfast to keep in our room. I bought some bagels and he got some yummy cinnamon rolls. So that was our breakfast of champions before heading out to Universal Studios.
Boy, was I excited to get to Universal Studios! I really love theme parks in general and throw in movie themes and that makes for a great place. We are so funny. I feel like you already know what we did right when we got through the gate. You guessed it! We got a map of the park, planned out our attack and got a locker to put up the camera and my purse when we weren't using it.
We headed to the new Simpsons Ride first because we figured it would fill up fast since it was one of the newer attractions. We barely had to wait ten minutes (or less) before we got on the ride! This day had started off perfectly! Then we just started hitting the rides that were close by and we really never had to wait for any of them! I was surprised since it was a Saturday that it wasn't busier. It did get busy after lunch, but by then we had done a lot of the rides and had moved on to the shows. The shows usually you have a specific time to see it, so we kind of timed everything out to just hop from one to another. Everything was fun and we had a great time! We decided to bring our smaller camera with us, so the pictures aren't that great. One fun thing for any of you Desperate Housewives fans - we drove down Wysteria Lane! As part of their backlot tour, we drove down the actual street they use for filming the show. Mat and I haven't ever watched the show, but it was still fun to see the houses. You can see all our pictures by clicking on the picture below.
That night we headed back to CityWalk for dinner at Karl Strauss Brewery. It was pretty good food. Then we headed back to the hotel, stopping on the way to spy on someone having a wedding at 9:30 at night! It was so strange, we were just walking back and it was in the courtyard of our hotel. We were way back in the shadows (geez, that sounds creepy), so no one saw us! But we didn't stay for long. We thought about going to the reception, but decided against that one! HA!
And that concludes week one of our honeymoon. Next stop, Long Beach on Day Eight to leave on our cruise!
